Draft Recruitment Email for Women Mine Workers

Hello,

My name is [NIOSH personnel’s name] and I am a [job title] in the NIOSH Mining Program.

We are conducting a study to learn about the experiences of women working in the U.S. mining industry. We are currently recruiting women mine workers to participate in either in-person or virtual focus groups for about 90 minutes. We will ask questions about the various job tasks you perform or would like to perform, your experiences with work-related hazards and risks and how they affect or impact your work, ways you think your job could be improved or made safer, and other thoughts and experiences you want to share about being a woman in mining.

Attached is the informed consent form for more details. If you’d like to participate, please let me know so we can find a date and time that would work best for you. If you know of someone in your professional network that you feel would be a good fit for our study, please feel free to forward this email or have them reach out for more information. If you are unsure if you would like to participate but have questions about this study, please do not hesitate to contact me.

I look forward to hearing from you.

Thank you,
