INTRODUCTION

According to your previous responses, you qualify to participate in a survey that will take about 30 minutes to complete. You will be asked various questions about nutrition and physical activity as well as a few questions about your background. The goal of this survey, which will include approximately 15,000 individuals nationwide, is to provide more in-depth analysis of mass media efforts and people’s reactions to television ads.

Your responses will be maintained in a secure manner and no personal identification information will be passed on to the sponsors of this study. In addition, your name or other personal information will never be associated with your responses. The data collected for this research study will be combined with that of all participants before it is analyzed.

There are no physical risks involved in participating in this study; however, it is possible that you could find some of the questions to be sensitive. If you find a question during the survey to be too personal, you may choose not to answer the question. Your participation is strictly voluntary and you may terminate your participation at any time. The benefit of participating in this study is to assist the sponsor in estimating awareness of an important media campaign. As a gift for participation, you will be awarded $5.00 in e-rewards currency for completing this study.

This survey is being conducted on behalf of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (www.cdc.gov) and RTI International (www.rti.org), a non-profit research organization that conducts studies on many types of health and social issues.
