Introduction

Hello, my name is [INSERT INTERVIEWER NAME]. I work for Westat, a research company in Rockville, Maryland. Thank you for taking the time to be a part of this study.


Westat is conducting this study, which is sponsored by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (or FDA), to see what people think about health information related to medical products.


In a moment, I will give control of the screen to you so you can look at a website. After you look at the website, I will ask you some questions on your thoughts and feelings about the information. Any ideas you have are okay.


IF PARTICIPANT CANNOT ACCESS WEBSITE OR USE SCREENSHARING, RESCHEDULE INTERVIEW.


Informed Consent

Before we get started, there are a few things I want to go over. Your participation in this interview is voluntary, and you don’t have to answer any questions you prefer not to. It is also okay if you want to stop after we start. Just let me know.

All of your answers and everything you say will be kept secure to the extent permitted by law. This means we will not share your name or contact information. The interview will take about 45 minutes and you will receive $50 as a token of appreciation.

We would like to record this conversation to make sure we hear everything you say correctly. Please speak clearly and loudly. Also, please minimize background noise by finding a quiet location away from other people and distractions. If you haven’t already, please silence your cell phone and other devices.

Only the research team working on this project will be able to listen to the recording and see our notes. Your name will not be linked to any of your responses, though we may include quotes that you provide in our reports. The recordings and our notes will be destroyed after we finish the project.

IF FDA STAFF ARE ON THE PHONE: I also want you to know that a couple members of the FDA research team are listening to this interview so they can hear directly from you.

Any questions? Is it okay if I record the interview? IF NO, TERMINATE.

TURN ON RECORDER. The date and time is ____________. Now that I am recording, I want to ask again, is it okay if I record this interview?
