Project: Developing, Marketing, and Evaluation of Eagle Books and Youth Books for American Indians and Alaska Natives
Sponsored by: U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS), Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), Native Diabetes Wellness Program
Purpose: We are here to learn more about what teachers and school administrators think about the Eagle Books, a group of children’s books that teach children about exercise, healthy eating, and how to prevent diabetes. We want to talk to you because these materials have been especially developed for American Indian children and the schools and communities that serve them. Taking part in this project does not mean that you or your students are not healthy or that you or your students have diabetes. The purpose of this group is to find out what school staff think about the Eagle Books.
Important things to know:
The discussion group with teachers will last about 75 minutes. The interview with school administrators will last about an hour.
Your participation is voluntary. You do not have to answer any questions you do not want to.
We will not ask you to talk about your personal health or the health of your students. We will ask what you think about the Eagle Books and how these materials can help kids stay healthy.
Someone from Westat (the company helping CDC with this project) will take notes. We will not write your name in the notes. Later, other people working on this project may see the notes because they cannot be here in person. Only people working on this project will be allowed to see the notes.
Everything you say will be kept private, as allowed by law.
You should be hurt in any kind of way because you took part in the groups. There are no direct benefits to you for taking part in this talk. What you tell us will help make sure that the Eagle Books are meeting the needs of American Indian children.
Want to know more? Please call [INSERT NAME OF LOCAL CONTACT]. If you have any questions about the project or CDC, you can call Dr. Lemyra DeBruyn (the CDC person in charge of this project) at 1-505-232-9906.
