Dear <name>:

Thank you for your ongoing participation in the High School Longitudinal Study of 2009 (HSLS:09). As you may recall, HSLS:09 is conducted by the National Center for Education Statistics (NCES) of the U.S. Department of Education (OMB control # 1850-0852). [Your/CaseName’s] voluntary participation, and the participation of other young adults like [him/her/you], has helped to make HSLS:09 a great success and has provided valuable data about young adults’ experiences in and out of school.

This important research study follows the same set of over 23,000 young adults as they move from high school to the work force or further schooling to understand what factors influence their learning and development.

As we prepare for future phases of HSLS:09, we are updating our contact information for study participants. Please update [your/CaseName’s] contact information and current educational status. The success of this national longitudinal study depends on having the most up-to-date contact information for all of the young adults involved in HSLS:09.

Please visit our website and use the study ID provided above to complete this information. If you prefer, you may fill out the enclosed address update form and send it back in the return envelope provided or call us at <tollfreephone>. The update should take approximately 5 minutes to complete. We will send you $<inc-amt> as a token of appreciation for updating your contact information.

If you have any questions about HSLS:09 or about updating [your/CaseName’s] contact information, please call the HSLS:09 help desk at RTI, toll-free, at <tollfreephone>.

NCES is authorized to conduct HSLS:09 by Federal law (ESRA 2002, 20 U.S.C. §9543), for which data are being collected by RTI. All of the information you provide may be used only for statistical purposes and may not be disclosed, or used, in identifiable form for any other purpose except as required by law (20 U.S.C. §9573 and 6 U.S.C. §151).
