Dear
[TITLE] [LNAME]:
I
hope that you will fill out the attached survey. The goal is to
learn your perspectives as a pharmacist about the appearance of the
prescription pills that you dispense. These changes can include pill
color, shape, size, and any markings (such as text, lines, grooves,
or designs) printed on the pill. Your participation is extremely
important! The Food and Drug Administration has provided funding for
this survey, which is being conducted by the Harris Poll, now a
division of Nielsen Consumers Insights, on behalf of a team of
pharmacists and physicians at Harvard Medical School and Brigham and
Women’s Hospital. The findings from this research will help
clarify your views for us on these topics, and will guide future work
and programs aimed at promoting optimal patient health outcomes.
Please
help us reach these important public health goals by completing this
survey; the
enclosed $5 honorarium is a token of our gratitude.
We
plan to widely disseminate the results of this survey in
peer-reviewed journals. The survey is designed to take no more than
20 minutes to complete. This study has been approved by our
Institutional Review Board.
Your
responses will be completely anonymous
and
analyzed only in the aggregate. Your participation is voluntary.
Any links between your identity and your responses will be maintained
securely by Nielsen and will never be released to researchers or the
Food and Drug Administration.
If
you prefer, you can complete the survey online using the following
