Follow up 5 Lead Letter for the Evaluation of the Public Education Campaign on Teen Tobacco Cohort II (ExPECTT II)

Dear [Participant_FName] [Participant_LName],

The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) Center for Tobacco Products is conducting the final wave of data collection for the Evaluation of the Public Education Campaign on Teen Tobacco (ExPECTT). You are one of more than 4,000 participants who took part in the early round(s) of this study. We thank you for your help in this important study.

This study will provide FDA, policy makers, and researchers with important information about exposure to public education messages on the health risks of smoking and using other tobacco products. The information collected by this study will help us improve our understanding of how public education campaigns affect attitudes, beliefs, and behaviors toward tobacco use. FDA has hired RTI International (RTI), a not-for-profit survey research organization, to conduct the study.

By continuing to take part in this study, you will have a unique opportunity to contribute to valuable research related to awareness, exposure, and receptivity to campaign messages. Because your continued contribution is important, we will offer you an incentive of $30 if you complete the web survey on or before [ADD DATE] and $25 after [ADD DATE]. This incentive will be provided via mail as a Visa gift card.
