CATI CONSENT: CELL PHONE GENERAL POPULATION

Again, this project is for the Department of Justice, specifically, the Bureau of Justice Statistics.

If it is OK with you this interview will be recorded for quality control purposes.

[IF NEEDED: These recorded interviews will be used only for purposes of improving the survey, and will be destroyed at the completion of the project.]

Westat has been contracted to develop a survey about unwanted sexual experiences and the health and safety consequences of these experiences. We will be interviewing thousands of people for this survey in communities like yours. The information you provide will help guide national policies.

You have been randomly selected to participate in this study. Your participation is completely voluntary. If you decide to participate, you can also refuse to answer any particular question. The interview takes about 12 minutes to complete. Your answers will be treated as confidential and they are protected by federal law – no one outside the study staff will know your answers to these questions or that you participated in this study. The one exception is that if you express that you are a danger to yourself or to others. If that happens in order to help protect your safety and the safety of others, we would report this to the appropriate healthcare or law enforcement agencies.

(IF RESPONDENT ASKS WHICH FEDERAL LAW, SAY: Federal law 42 U.S.C. Section 3789g)

In appreciation for your help, we will send you a check for $20 after we complete the interview.

Later in the interview, you will be asked questions about health and safety issues related to unwanted sexual experiences. Some of the language is explicit and some people may find it uncomfortable, but it is important that we ask the questions this way so that you are clear about what we mean.

If you want to stop the interview at any time, please let me know.

Since some of the questions are personal, you should go to a private area where you feel comfortable taking this survey. We want to make sure that your answers are confidential.

If at any time you need to contact the research project for any reason, I’d like you to write down this phone number: 1-855-749-6249.

WHEN RESPONDENT IS IN A PRIVATE AREA, CONTINUE.

To get started, please tell me just your first name and age.
