HPOG-Impact 36-month Follow-up Survey – Treatment Version

  1. Introduction

Hello, my name is [ ]. May I please speak with _____?

Thank you for taking the time to talk with me today. I work for Abt SRBI. Abt SRBI is an independent research company and we are helping the Administration for Children and Families (ACF) in the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) with its evaluation of the Health Profession Opportunity Grants (HPOG) program. We are conducting interviews with people who agreed to be in a study about a program offered at [Name of organization] called [program name].

We are getting ready to contact all of the people who joined the study so we can do a follow-up survey with them. This interview will include questions on your employment and education activities, your use of services, and your overall well-being. This interview will take about 60 minutes to complete. When we are done, we will send you a $40 check, as a token of appreciation for your time. You agreed to be part of the study around [RAD] (when you signed a consent form to let researchers collect information from you). [INTERVIEWERIF RESPONDENT COMPLETED 15 MONTH SURVEY READ AS NECESSARY: This is a follow-up to the interview you participated in MONTH/YEAR OF LAST INTERVIEW.]

We need to talk with people who got into the program and those who did not. Your participation in this study will help policymakers and program operators better understand how to help people attain educational credentials and find and keep jobs.

Before we begin the survey, I would like to assure you that all of your responses on this survey will be kept private; your name will not appear in any written reports we produce. Your responses to these questions are completely voluntary. That means you may choose not to answer any question, or you may stop the interview if you wish, but we hope you don’t. Your responses to these questions will in no way affect your participation in any programs or your receipt of any kinds of public benefits or services. The information you provide will be kept private and only used for this study. By participating in this study, you will help the government learn if and how programs like [LOCAL PROGRAM NAME] make a difference in people’s lives and how to improve programs in the future.

According to the Paperwork Reduction Act (PRA), an agency may not conduct or sponsor, and a person is not required to respond to, a collection of information unless it displays a currently valid OMB control number. The OMB control number for this collection is 0970-0394 and it expires xx/xx/xxxx. If you have comments regarding this burden estimate or any other aspect of this collection of information, including suggestions for reducing this burden, please send them to [Contact Name]; [Contact Address]; Attn: OMB-PRA (xxxxxxx).Do you have any questions before we begin?
