Screening telephone call script to identify the appropriate survey contact person at eligible facilities
The majority of hospitals will be contacted via email using the business contact information collected during the previous survey cycle’s administration. A screening call will be made to hospitals that meet at least one of the following criteria:
Hospitals without an email address (most likely because they did not participate in the previous survey
Hospitals with business contact information that is no longer valid
Callers will obtain the name and business contact information of an individual who is knowledgeable about infant feeding practices at the hospital (contact person). The call will be administered as a computer-assisted telephone interview. As a result, data entry will be performed as part of the interview process and the skip-logic will be electronic. The screening should take 3 minutes to complete.

Hello [POS_CONTACT_FIRSTNAME] [POS_CONTACT_LASTNAME], my name is [INTERVIEWER NAME] and I am calling from Abt Global on behalf of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention regarding the Maternity Practices in Infant Nutrition and Care, or mPINC, survey, a survey funded by the CDC. The mPINC survey includes questions about infant nutrition, such as breastfeeding, use of formula by healthy newborns, and feeding routines. Once data collection and analysis are complete, we send participating hospitals an individualized report with a summary of their survey results and a comparison of their results to the nation, the region, and to other hospitals of similar size, showing specific changes the hospital can make to support breastfeeding mothers. Hospitals can use this information to improve care practices and policies to better support their maternity patients.
You were identified as a knowledgeable person to complete the mPINC survey, which asks questions about infant feeding practices and policies, for your facility.
To make completing the survey as easy as possible, we would like to send an e-mail directly to you with an invitation and a link to the survey, which can then be completed securely online. Can you please give me your email address?
