Planes, Trains, and Auto-Mobility: An Innovative Approach to Increase Walking in the Atlanta Hartsfield-Jackson Airport

Instructions for Interviewers

Public reporting burden of this collection of information is estimated to average 10 minutes per response, including the time for reviewing instructions, searching existing data sources, gathering and maintaining the data needed, and completing and reviewing the collection of information. An agency may not conduct or sponsor, and a person is not required to respond to a collection of information unless it displays a currently valid OMB control number. Send comments regarding this burden estimate or any other aspect of this collection of information, including suggestions for reducing this burden to CDC/ATSDR Information Collection Review Office, 1600 Clifton Road NE, MS D-74, Atlanta, Georgia 30333; ATTN: PRA (0920-0572).

Procedures for Conducting Interview

All interviewers will satisfy training requirements for conducting this interview prior to collecting information.

This interview should take no more than 10 minutes to complete. Participation in the interview is voluntary and respondents may choose to skip any question or end the interview at any point.

To record interview responses, interviewers will use hand-held electronic tablets. In the event of tablet malfunction, interviewers will record responses on the Response Form (Appendix B3). When using the tablet, interviewers will ensure that the “Capture Coordinates” function is disabled.

Upon approaching a potential respondent, interviewers will greet the person, state his or her name and identify affiliation with the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.

The interviewer will begin by showing the first Interview Card to the individual (see Appendix B2). He or she will then show and recite the verbal consent statement (Interview Card 2). If the interviewer is unable to continue, he or she should indicate the reason in the “Check if unable to continue” box, thank the individual for his or her time and move on to the next potential respondent.

If the individual agrees to participate, the interviewer should present the first question by reading it aloud while also presenting the corresponding Interview Card (Interview Card 4). The interviewer will allow the participant enough time to read/hear the question, think about his or her response, and give a response. Once a response is given, the interviewer will record the response on the hand-held electronic device and present the next question. This procedure should be followed for each of the remaining questions until the interview is complete, or the participant wishes to end the interview.

Upon completion of the interview, the interviewer should present the respondent with the Participant Information Sheet (Appendix B4) and indicate that should he or she have any questions, they may use the contact information provided.

Verbal consent:

Hello! I am (interviewer name) from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). I am doing an interview that takes about 10 minutes.

The Atlanta Airport is supporting this CDC interview on how people move from place to place at the airport. We are asking you to take part in this interview because you are using the Atlanta Airport today.

We will enter your answers on this device [interviewer shows hand-held electronic device]. We will not ask for or put your name in the report or on the form. You may choose not to answer any question and for any reason. You may say that you want to pass on the question and we will just move on to the next one. You may also stop at any time.

You will get no direct benefit from being a part of this interview, but the results could be of future benefit to you or someone you know.

Are you ready to begin?
