INVITATION EMAIL
Subject: SOAR is back!
Dear {Name},
You recently took the Study Adolescent of Resilience (SOAR) survey and we need your
participation in the SOAR follow-up! Your parent previously provided consent (willingness to
participate) and signed a HIPAA form (health data) on your behalf. If you are 18 years or older
when you participate in the follow-up survey, we will ask for you to review and sign the consent
and HIPAA forms yourself.
We want to know about your experiences being the child of a parent who is serving or
previously served in the military. Your answers, along with those of about 4,000 other militaryconnected teens, will help the U.S. Department of Defense (DoD) provide important services
and programs for military-connected teens just like you.
To learn more about this study, please visit https://www.millenniumcohort.org/soar.
The online survey will take approximately 30 minutes to complete. When you finish the survey,
you will receive a $20 electronic gift card to Amazon.com that can be used immediately. In
addition, you will be able to download a certificate that showcases your voluntary participation in
this unique DoD study.
Complete your online survey today by visiting https://www.millenniumcohort.org/soar. Click on

We hope to hear from you soon.
