FirstIntro.



We invite you and your child to take part in the Head Start Family and Child Experiences Survey, known as FACES, spring 2022 data collection. FACES describes children and families participating in Head Start and their Head Start programs. Head Start will use the information gained from FACES to understand the unique needs of families two years after the COVID-19 pandemic began. We are inviting you and your child to participate because your child attends a Head Start program included in the FACES study. The Administration for Children and Families, part of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, is paying for FACES. Mathematica, an independent firm, is doing the study.

If you agree to take part…

We will ask you to complete a survey soon via the web or over the phone. We will ask you about your child, your family’s activities and routines (such as eating meals together), your feelings, and your well-being during the COVID-19 pandemic. The survey will take about 37 minutes. We will conduct it in your language.

We will ask your child’s Head Start teacher some questions about your child in a teacher-child report. It will have questions about your child’s behavior, skills, and any special concerns or disabilities. This will help us learn more about how your child is doing in Head Start.

We will offer a gift card for your help. You will have the option to do the survey by phone or on the web soon. After you finish the survey, as a thank you, we will send you a $30 gift card.

You can choose whether you and your child will be part of the study. Taking part is completely voluntary. There are no risks or direct benefits from taking part in the study. Your choice to take part or not will not affect the Head Start services you and your child receive. If you choose to take part in the study but then decide you want to leave the study at any point, that is okay.

SecondIntro.

We will protect your privacy. No one outside of the Mathematica study team will be able to connect you to the answers you provide to the survey questions. Some questions might ask you to answer questions in your own words. We may use statements or parts of statements you make in connection with the study; however, we will not identify you as the source of the statement; we also will not identify your program, or community. We never identify you or any other individual parent, child, or staff member in any report; reports contain only general study results. All information collected as part of FACES will be kept private unless we learn that a child has been hurt or is in danger or you tell us that you plan to seriously hurt yourself or someone else – then by law, we must make a report to the appropriate legal authorities. In the future, survey responses from the study (with nothing identifying individuals, programs, or communities) will be securely shared only with qualified individuals who are studying Head Start children, their families, and programs.



We have a Certificate of Confidentiality from the National Institutes of Health. The Certificate helps us protect your privacy. This strictly limits when the study team can give out information that identifies you, even in court. However, we may need to share your information if it shows a serious threat to you or to others, including reporting to authorities when required by law. The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (DHHS) may ask for data for an audit or evaluation. If they do, we will need to provide it. However, only DHHS staff involved in the review will see it.



If you have questions about FACES, please call the study staff including Sara Skidmore, the survey director, toll free at 833-961-2893. You can find out more about FACES on the study website. Visit https://www.acf.hhs.gov/opre/project/head-start-family-and-child-experiences-survey-faces-1997-2022.

We hope you will take part in this study. Thank you!

At this time, I will read two statements for you to confirm that you provide consent to participate.
