Provider Web Survey Email
Dear [PROVIDER]:
About a month ago you were sent information about the Study of Nutrition and Activity in Child Care Settings (SNACS) and notified that you were selected to participate in the study. The United States Department of Agriculture Food and Nutrition Service (USDA/FNS) has contracted with Abt Associates to conduct this important study. As you may know, this study was mandated by Congress to learn more about the food and activity provided to infants and children child care providers participating in the Child and Adult Care Food Program (CACFP) and some not participating in the CACFP.
You have been selected as part of a nationally representative sample to complete the Provider Web Survey. The survey will gather information about foods served by the provider, types of foods served, wellness policies, menu planning practices, food purchasing practices, food service practices, and additional program characteristics. The Provider Web Survey is divided into 11 modules. The survey can be accessed by more than one person at your facility, and you can save portions of the survey to return to it later. Please have the person at your facility most familiar with a given topic respond to the module on that topic.
Below is the link to this survey, which can also be accessed via the URL:

Your login information is as follows:
PIN# [ABTID]
The survey will take approximately 56 minutes to complete and you will receive a $30 prepaid Visa card for completing it. Please complete this survey by [DUE DATE].
We greatly appreciate your participation in this study. Your participation will help us to provide Congress with an accurate nationally representative description of the foods and activities in child care providers across the country. If you have any questions regarding this project, please contact us at toll-free 844-808-4777 or SNACS@abtassoc.com.
