Promising Themes Studies (CTP)

OMB Control No. 0910-0810

Exp. Date: 10/31/2021

ATTACHMENT 1: PROMISING THEMES STUDY SCREENER

NOTE FOR INVESTIGATORS: The Promising Themes Study is designed to identify beliefs or belief categories (themes) that can be used to prevent initiation or progression to established use, or promote quitting, among youth and young adults in relation to four product types: little cigars and cigarillos, vapes, smokeless tobacco, and cigarettes. This work is based on similar studies conducted by Bob Hornik and colleagues. To conduct the data analyses needed to inform future campaigns, surveys must include individuals with a range of substance use behaviors, including 1) current users, 2) non-current users who are susceptible or open to future use, and 3) non-current users who are closed to future use. This screener reflects that need. This screener may be tailored to focus on one, or a subset, of the product types included here.

PROGRAMMER NOTE: FORCE RESPONSES TO ALL SCREENER QUESTIONS.

[SCNR_INTRO]

Welcome to the Your Voice Now Survey!  

 

The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) is developing education programs that will improve the health of youth and young adults. 

​
To inform these education programs, the FDA is conducting a survey in partnership with RTI International, a non-profit research organization. 
 

• You are being asked to answer a few questions to see if you are eligible for a study of approximately 1,500 youth and young adults in the United States.
   

• You may only complete this questionnaire one time.
   

• It will only take about 3 minutes to see if you are eligible. 
   

• If we determine you are eligible, you will have the opportunity to continue and complete an additional online survey for a $5 electronic gift card as a token of appreciation.
   

• You may only take that survey one time and you will only receive one $5 electronic gift card if you complete it. If we find that you have completed the survey more than once, you may not receive a gift card. Once we complete this check, we will send you a $5 electronic gift card to the email address you provide. The gift card will be sent within 1-2 weeks.
   

• Your answers to the questions will be kept private to the fullest extent allowable by law and your participation is voluntary.

RTI International, a non-profit research organization, is doing a survey to learn more about people like you. We (“RTI International”) want to make sure that the person who is taking the survey is who they say they are and does not take the survey more than once. Facebook will help us do this by making sure that you have a real Facebook account. This document will explain what kinds of information Facebook or RTI International may learn about you if you click on the “agree” button.

 

When you click on “agree,” you are allowing Facebook and RTI International to collect your email that you use to log in to Facebook and your unique Facebook user id number to make sure that you do not take the survey more than once. The information collected will help Facebook check that you have a real account. If you do not agree to allow Facebook and RTI International to collect this information, you should not take this survey. The information about you that we collect here may be added to other information we have about you.

 

We will protect the information we collect as much as possible. However, since this survey is online, there is still a chance that other people may see some information about you. This is a risk that is part of using the internet. We will do our best to make sure this does not happen.

 

This document (the Authorization Statement) only talks about the information that could be learned about you as part of the process that Facebook uses to make sure that you have a real Facebook account.
