I am calling you about a research study called Mobility Opportunity Vouchers to Eliminate Disparities or “MOVED”. In [date of baseline assessment] you agreed to participate in the MOVED study. Thank you for taking 5 minutes to confirm your contact information.

We are working to understand how housing and neighborhood environments affect health, such as obesity and type II diabetes, for adults and children. We will study whether helping families move to different neighborhoods affects their risk of obesity and type II diabetes and their overall well-being.

This call is part of a routine process to keep in touch with you because we value your participation in the study. I would also like to confirm that I have your correct phone number, email, and street address in our secure database. If it isn’t correct, then I can update it in my system right now. This will help make sure we can reach you for the follow-up survey, starting about [MONTHS OR YEARS UNTIL FOLLOW-UP] from now. We do this because your experiences are unique.

Your participation in this study is completely voluntary. You can choose whether or not to respond. However, the team of researchers at Abt Associates and Johns Hopkins University greatly appreciate your continued participation. Know that any information you provide will be kept private. I appreciate your time today.
