[NAME OF POTENTIAL INTERVIEW PARTICIPANT],

I am an analyst at CNA supporting a study sponsored by the Defense Suicide Prevention Office (DSPO) called the “Assessing the Implementation and Effectiveness of DOD’s Lethal Means Safety (LMS) Outreach Materials” study. Part of this study focuses on helping the Resilience Directorate (ARD) learn more about the implementation and utility of the Army’s new LMS Toolkit.

CNA is scheduling interviews with individuals in Army billets/positions (active duty and civilian) working on issues related to LMS and the Army’s suicide prevention programs, activities, and tasks, and you were recommended to us as a potential interview participant. The goal of these key informant interviews is to explore how the Army suicide prevention program may improve its LMS materials, outreach, and implementation efforts.

If you are interested and available to participate, please reply to this email, and we can schedule the interview at a date and time that work for you. Your participation in an interview is completely voluntary. The interview should take no more than 90 minutes and can be held over the phone or via video conference. This interview will not be recorded except for notes taken during the session, and you will not be identified individually in the report or any briefings. All information discussed will be summarized and reported by CNA, along with the information collected during our other key informant interviews.

Thank you for your time and consideration, and please let me know if you have any questions or would like any additional information. I look forward to hearing from you.

V/r,
