Dear «CAREFNAM» «CARELNAM»,
You are invited to take part in a national survey for the Administration for Community Living
(ACL), part of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services. The National Survey of Older
Americans Act Participants (NSOAAP) helps ACL know what people around the country think
about the family caregiver support services offered by their local area agency on aging (AAA).
This survey is also conducted to better understand the needs of individuals who use family
caregiver support services. Westat, a national survey research firm, is collecting the study
information.
Your name has been randomly selected from a list of clients who receive services from
«AGENCY (AGENCYABBR)», which is taking part in this research study.
The survey takes about 30 minutes to complete. Your participation is voluntary. Your eligibility
for services will not be affected by your decision to participate or by any answers you give.
Reports and studies resulting from this survey will summarize information provided by
participants and will not associate responses with a specific individual.
The survey can be completed on a secure website. Please use the following information to log
in:
Web address: www.nsoaap.org
PIN (to enter survey): «PIN»

This login PIN is unique to you. If you leave the survey before you finish, you will need your PIN
to return.
If you have not received caregiver support services in the last 12 months, you are no longer
providing care for an elder, you do not want to take part in this study, or you have questions,
please call (855) 519-7052 or send an email to [email protected].

To learn more about the Older Americans Act Title III programs and the NSOAAP, visit the
NSOAAP website (https://aoasurvey.org) or contact the Administration for Community Living at

please call their office at «AGENCYPHONE».
We are enclosing $1 as a small token of appreciation. Thank you for supporting this important
study!
Sincerely,

Amanda Cash, PhD, MPH
