Key Information

We are talking to young people about a study sponsored by the United States Food and Drug Administration (FDA). We would like you to be part of a study called the “Health and Media Study”, which involves completing an online survey. RTI International (RTI) is a research company doing this study for the FDA to learn about how young people use media, tobacco (cigarettes), and marijuana. We’re asking about [INSERT NUMBER BASED ON COMPLETES FROM BASELINE AND FOLLOW-UP WAVES OF DATA COLLECTION] people in the United States to take this survey.

Your parent or legal guardian (the person who takes care of you) said you can do the survey, but you don’t have to. It is your choice to take part in this study or not. You do not have to take this survey if you don’t want to.

If you take this survey, we might ask you to take another survey at another time. Taking this survey won’t give you any benefits, but you will be helping the FDA learn important things about how people your age use tobacco. The mission of FDA is to promote public health. The FDA does not support or encourage tobacco use.

You can take the survey on a computer, smartphone, or tablet. It should take about 30 minutes. You won’t be able to go back to questions you already answered, and you will be logged out if you don’t answer any questions for 20 minutes. This is to make sure other people don’t see your answers.

You can take a break any time and start again when you’re ready. Take the survey where no one can see your answers.

Some of the questions might make you feel bad or upset. You can choose “prefer not to answer” for any question. You may not move on to the next question in the survey if an item is left blank, but you may move on to the next question if you select “prefer not to answer”.

If you are doing the survey and decide you don’t want to anymore, you can stop. If you don't want to answer a certain question, that is okay too. You can drop out of the survey at any time, for any reason. There is no penalty if you do not take this survey.

We’ll keep your answers private. Your parent or guardian won’t see them. We will share your answers with the FDA, but we won’t share your name or anything else about you with the FDA. We won’t share anything about you with people who don’t work at the FDA or RTI.

We’ll do everything we can to keep what you share private, but we can’t say for sure that what you share online won’t be seen by others.

If you do this survey on or before [EARLY BIRD DATE], we’ll mail you $30 at the address your parent gave us. If you do it after [EARLY BIRD DATE], we’ll mail you $25. You can choose whether you want cash or a Visa gift card. If you do not complete the survey, you won’t get a Visa gift card or cash. If you are asked to take another survey at a later time, you will receive a Visa gift card or cash for each additional survey you complete.

Certificate of Confidentiality

This study is protected by something called a Certificate of Confidentiality (CoC). This means that the people who work on this study have to protect your privacy. We can’t share anything that would tell people who don’t work on the study who you are. We can’t share anything about you in legal settings (for example, in a court case) unless you say we can. We may share things about you if:

• You say we can share it (for example, if you want your doctor to have it).

• The study information is used for other studies that follow federal law.

• The FDA, which is paying for the study, needs to check how their money is being spent.

• A law says we have to share information (for example, when we must report to the FDA, or if we hear that a person is going to hurt someone or has hurt a child).

The CoC does not apply to what you do. You can choose whether to tell others you are in this study or if you have used tobacco.

Would you like to participate in this survey?
