Model Quantitative Recruitment Script and Guidance
Project Area Staff Make Initial Contact
This document provides model scripts in Spanish and guidance for staff making initial contact with a potential participant over the phone for quantitative surveys. To minimize the chance of an adverse event, you must confirm the potential participant’s identity before mentioning HIV or this project. A potential participant may not know their HIV status; therefore, you should know national and local procedures on how to address this before starting recruitment.
After confirmation of identity, if the person meets eligibility requirements and agrees to participate, you should schedule an interview or provide a personalized link to the web survey if the person requests it.
Information Needed Before the Cold Call: To confirm a potential participant’s identity over the phone, you should obtain their information before calling them. When you contact the potential participant, you will ask them to provide matching information. Use two or more methods to confirm their identity. Examples include:
In addition, you should check whether the potential participant is aware of their HIV status by looking into eHARS or other supplementary sources of information. For example, a single report in eHARS with no subsequent visits to an HIV provider and no additional CD4 or viral load tests may indicate that the person may not be aware of their status. |
Recruiter: Hola, ¿podría hablar con [nombre de la persona]?
If the person is not available and someone else answers:
Recruiter: Me llamo [nombre del reclutador]. [Nombre del posible participante] fue elegido(a) para participar en una encuesta de salud. Por favor, pídale que me llame al [número de teléfono].
If you reach their voicemail:

Usted es una de tan solo un grupo pequeño de personas en [área del proyecto] escogidas para participar en nuestra encuesta confidencial de salud. Si decide participar, recibirá [cantidad y tipo de regalo de agradecimiento]. Por favor, llámeme al [su número de teléfono]. Gracias..
(Note: You can also use the voicemail script when texting the potential participant)
If you reach the person:
Recruiter: Me llamo [nombre del reclutador]. Llamo del [nombre del departamento de salud] para avisarle que usted fue seleccionado para participar en nuestra encuesta de salud. Si participa, recibirá [cantidad y el tipo de regalo de agradecimiento]. Puede programar una cita para hacer la encuesta telefónicamente con un entrevistador o puede hacerla en línea en un momento que sea conveniente para usted.
Como solo pueden participar las personas que hayan sido escogidas para esta encuesta, necesito hacerle unas preguntas para asegurarme de estar hablando con la persona indicada. Para mantener privada su información, debe estar en un lugar donde nadie pueda escuchar sus respuestas. ¿Está en un lugar privado?
If the person states that they are in a private space, then move forward with confirming their identity:
To confirm the potentially eligible person’s identity, you can ask:

If living in a jurisdiction that does not allow data collection:
Recruiter:
Gracias por darnos esta información. Segun el lugar donde vive, no podemos proseguir con la encuesta, pero gracias por su tiempo.
Recruiter: Gracias por confirmar esa información. El motivo por el que fue escogido para este proyecto es que a usted le diagnosticaron una afección medica que se notifica al departamento de salud estatal. ¿Puede decirme qué afección o afecciones le diagnosticaron?
If HIV is mentioned, ask: ¿ Nuestros registros muestran que le diagnosticaron VIH por primera vez en [mes] [año]. Es correcto?
(Note: Let the participant know that this month and year of diagnosis will be used throughout the survey. If the participant says this month and year is incorrect, confirm and record the correct date or month/year. If they were NOT first diagnosed within the past 18 months, probe to find out if they received a previous diagnosis. If participant says this is their first diagnosis and the eHARS date of diagnosis is within the past 18 months, ask the participant to confirm the date of diagnosis.)
If no, move to the closing step below*. Otherwise, proceed to Step 6.
If HIV is not mentioned, proceed to the next question below
If no, ask:¿Estaria bien si enumero algunas de las afecciones médicas que se notifican al departamento de salud? Usted puede decirme si le han diagnosticado alguna de estas afecciones. (P. ej., meningitis, tuberculosis, infección por el VIH, sarampión).
If the person still does not identify HIV, do not proceed with recruitment and move to the closing step below*. Then complete the following:
Note: let the participant know that this month and year of diagnosis will be used throughout the interview. If the participant says this month and year is incorrect, confirm and record the correct date or month/year.

If participant says this is their first diagnosis and the eHARS date of diagnosis is within the past 18 months, ask the participant to confirm the date of diagnosis.)

Recruiter: Gracias por darnos esta información. Lo último que necesitamos para saber si es elegible es dónde vivió el año antes de recibir el diagnóstico de infección por el VIH. En los 12 meses anteriores a recibir el diagnóstico de infección por el VIH, ¿estaba viviendo en los Estados Unidos?
If steps 2 to 6 are NOT met, the person is NOT eligible for participation.
STOP AT THIS POINT and proceed to the closing step below.
*Recruiter: Lamentablemente, debido a sus respuestas, no podemos proseguir con la encuesta. Pero gracias por su tiempo. Que tenga un buen día.
If steps 2 to 6 are MET, then the potential participant is eligible for participation.
Proceed with recruitment.
Recruiter: Gracias por permitirme verificar que usted es la persona indicada.
Permítame contarle más sobre esta encuesta de salud.

El nombre de la encuesta de salud es [nombre del proyecto local]. Si participa en esta encuesta, se le harán preguntas sobre su salud y la atención médica recibida. Esta encuesta es confidencial e incluye algunas preguntas de naturaleza delicada sobre su salud. Sus respuestas a estas preguntas se mantendrán privadas y separadas de la información de identificación, como su nombre o número de teléfono.

If interested in participating in the project:
Recruiter: Excelente! Esta encuesta tomará unos 50 minutos. ¿Desea programar una entrevista telefónica o tomar la encuesta en línea?
If participant chooses phone interview:
Recruiter: Bien. ¿Le gustaría realizar la encuesta ahora o programar un tiempo para realizarla más tarde?
If participant chooses to take the survey now (live transfer):
Recruiter: Bien, por favor quédese en línea mientras lo/la conecto con un entrevistador.
The recruiter will need to input in the scheduling tool:
A unique identifier for the participant
Month and year of HIV diagnosis as indicated in eHARS or updated after confirming with the participant during this conversation.
Stage of infection at diagnosis: Stage 0 or Stage 3
Preferred language of interview (English or Spanish)
Once the participant is registered, inform the participant that you will connect them to an interviewer. Ask them to remain on the call and be prepared to provide their ID number to the interviewer at the start of the interview. Give the participant their ID number. Explain that the ID number is used instead of their name to protect their identity. This way the responses they provide to the interviewer will not be linked to their names or contact information. Remind the participant that to keep their information and responses to the survey questions private, the participant should move to a location where no one can overhear. Let the participant know that they will need to have a pen and paper handy when they call for their interview so they can write down their Amazon gift code at the end of the interview.
Let the participant know that the interviewer does not have their name or contact information. Provide your contact information and instruct the participant to call you back if the call is disconnected for any reason. Inform the participant that you will remain on the line until they are connected to an interviewer and that if an interviewer is not available you will help them reschedule to take the survey for a later date.
If the participant has internet access, help them locate the online response cards at
https://www.cdc.gov/hiv/statistics/systems/shield/index.html. If they do not have access to the internet, ask them for a mailing address where they can receive the response cards. Let the participant know that they can contact you should they need to reschedule the interview or would like to complete the web-based survey. Follow procedures for using the scheduling portal – refer to Protocol Appendix E.2.

Once the interview is scheduled, inform the participant that they will need to call the interviewer’s phone number at the designated time and provide an ID number to the interviewer at the start of the interview. Give the participant the interview phone number and the ID number. Explain that the ID number is used instead of their name to protect their identity. This way the responses they provide to the interviewer will not be linked to their names or contact information. Remind the participant that to keep their information and responses to the survey questions private, the participant should plan to call from a location where no one can overhear.
