DISCUSSION BOARD FORUM RECRUITMENT SCREENER

3 TOTAL DISCUSSION BOARD FORUMS

DEMOGRAPHIC BREAKS FOR EACH OF THE THREE ONLINE DISCUSSION BOARD FORUMS The final participant sample will reflect a mix of genders, ages, and races/ethnicities, as possible.
	3 Target Audiences Categories	Audience 1 Families with young children	Audience 2 People with HIV	Audience 3 Adults ages 45 and older
*Recruit 1–2 participants from each of these 3 categories for each of the 3 target audiences.	Living in Rural Areas	DISCUSSION BOARD FORUM 1: Recruit 5 Participants Total	DISCUSSION BOARD FORUM 2: Recruit 5 Participants Total	DISCUSSION BOARD FORUM 1: Recruit 5 Participants Total

*Participants may qualify for more than one category. For example, a person living with HIV could qualify as a HRSA patient and/or a person living in a rural area. In this example we would count the participant as ONE recruit for filling the rural quota and ONE recruit for filling the HRSA patient quota.

QUOTAS AND ELIGIBILITY

• Overrecruits from focus group or cognitive interview recruitment are eligible to participate in one of three online discussion board forums.

• Recruit 18 total participants across three target audiences (six for each of the three target audiences) to participate in an online discussion board forum. Target audiences include (1) families with young children (parent/guardian of a child age 6 months through 3 ½ years), (2) people with HIV, and (3) adults ages 45 years and older.

• Two to three participants in each target audience must be categorized as living in a rural area [see response c in Q5].

• Two to three participants in each target audience must be categorized as a HRSA health center patient [see response to Q6B].

• Participants may qualify for more than one category. For example, a person living with HIV could qualify as a HRSA patient and/or a person living in a rural area. In this example we would count the participant as ONE recruit for filling the rural quota and ONE recruit for filling the HRSA patient quota.

Introduction

Hello, my name is _______________ and I’m calling from _________________about an upcoming project sponsored by the Health Resources and Services Administration, a federal government agency in the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services. We will be referring to it as “HRSA.” HRSA is the primary federal agency for improving health care to people who are geographically isolated and economically or medically vulnerable.

We want to get your feedback on some short messages and information to help consumers/patients know more about mouth and teeth health and to understand concerns consumers/patients like you might have on this topic. We will be conducting online discussion board forums to talk about how HRSA can better reach consumers/patients like you with important health information.

We are asking that you spend no more than 45 minutes total over a 2-day period responding to questions or prompts in an online discussion board forum. You may log-in at your leisure (at whatever time you want, from wherever you want). You may also complete part of the questions, log off and log back in, and continue where you left off. Day two questions will not be available for you to respond until the second day. Do not worry about spelling accuracy when typing your answers. We are very interested in your feedback and opinions. We will send you a web link beforehand for you to access the online discussion board forum. To maintain participants’ privacy, we will use first names only (no last names) in the online discussion board forum. Your name and personal information will not be used in any project materials.

In appreciation for your time, we will give you a monetary token of appreciation. To see if you qualify to participate, I need to ask you a few questions. These questions will take less than 10 minutes.
