Dear [Name of Director],

We have been trying to reach you to ask you to participate in the 2024 National Post-acute and Long-term Care Study (NPALS). If you already returned your completed questionnaire, thank you for your participation.

If you have not completed and returned your questionnaire, we hope you will consider participating. Your responses are very important in providing accurate information on long-term care in the United States.

Please complete the questionnaire by web over a safe and secure network by going to this URL address and typing in your unique User ID and one-time password:

Benefits to completing by web include getting only the questions that apply to your community/center based on your responses—so it takes less time--and having the option to print a copy of your completed questionnaire for your records. However, if you prefer to use hardcopy, please complete the questionnaire you recently received and return it in the pre-addressed, postage-paid envelope provided. Completing the questionnaire takes 30 minutes on average.

If you are the director for more than one community/center selected for this study, you may receive and be asked to complete separate questionnaires for each selected community/center. Please complete each questionnaire only for the specific community/center listed on the front of the provider questionnaire; otherwise, we cannot use your data.

If you need technical support or have further questions about this survey, please visit https://www.cdc.gov/nchs/npals/index.htm or call (xxx) xxx-xxxx.

Thank you once again,

Brian Moyer, PhD

Director, National Center for Health Statistics
