ONLINE REQUEST TO COMPLETE THE SURVEY: EMAIL MESSAGE – FULL STUDY

Dear Dr. ${m://LastName},

We are requesting your participation in the Periodic Survey of Fellows, a 30-year old Academy program that has collected more than 75,000 pediatrician responses on over 100 topics (http://www.aap.org/research/periodicsurvey/psof.htm). The information that members like you provide has been essential to directly inform the Academy’s policy, education, and advocacy initiatives.
 
The enclosed Periodic Survey focuses on 1) infectious disease and natural disaster preparedness and 2) Zika virus -  ${l://SurveyLink?d=Please click here for online survey}. The AAP is collaborating with the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention to learn about pediatricians’ experiences with and attitudes toward these topics to assist in informing the AAP how to disseminate information and focus educational outreach specific to the Zika virus and perhaps other potential emerging infectious disease threats.

If you already completed the paper version of this survey that we recently sent you - thank you and please disregard this message!  

• We estimate that the survey will take less than 20 minutes to complete.

• Your individual responses will remain secure, and only aggregate findings will be reported. This survey was reviewed and approved by the AAP Institutional Review Board (IRB).

• An ID # is linked to your survey only to re-contact non-respondents. This survey is one in a series of Periodic Surveys; you will not be selected for another Periodic Survey for the next 6 years.

I know there are many demands on your time, but please take a few minutes to complete the survey. Hearing from you assures we develop an accurate understanding of these critical issues.
 
If you have questions about this survey, please contact Blake Sisk (bsisk@aap.org or 1-630-626-6630).
 
Your participation in the Periodic Survey of Fellows is much appreciated. Thank you in advance!
 
Sincerely,
 
Karen Remley, MD, MBA, MPH, FAAP
