Caregivers
Thank you for calling about the focus group on ridesharing. Westat is conducting this study for the federal government. We are trying to understand more about rideshare use in general and with child passengers. No special knowledge or ability is required to participate. The focus group will take about one and a half hours and will take place via a virtual meeting, like Zoom or Microsoft Teams. During the focus group, you will be asked to participate in a discussion about your experiences using rideshares.
Under the Paperwork Reduction Act, a Federal agency may not conduct or sponsor, and a person is not required to respond to collection of information subject to the requirements of the Paperwork Reduction Act unless that collection of information displays a current valid OMB Control number. The OMB Control Number for this information collection is 2127-NEW (expiration date: xx/xx/xxxx). The average amount of time to complete the screening questions is 10 minutes. Your participation and all your responses to this collection of information are voluntary. The purpose of this research study is to examine public attitudes toward child passenger safety and relationships between attitudes, behaviors, and demographics. The information collected will be summarized in a report to support future countermeasure development. If you have comments regarding this burden estimate or any other aspect of this collection of information, including suggestions for reducing this burden send them to Information Collection Clearance Officer, National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, 1200 New Jersey Ave, S.E., Washington, DC, 20590.
