Dear Mr./Ms. [LAST NAME],

In the fall of 2017, the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists (ACOG) and American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) contacted you about your response to the Zika virus outbreak and your role as a CDC field assignee. ACOG has been working since early 2016 to respond to the Zika virus outbreak and we are now asking you to participate in this short questionnaire to help us better support local health departments in addressing this disease.

Your feedback is important to help direct ACOG’s response to future infectious disease outbreaks. It is not necessary to review any extra materials prior to completing the questionnaire; please be as candid as possible. Individual responses are confidential, and data will be analyzed and reported in aggregate form only.

The questionnaire should take approximately 15 minutes to complete. This study is for evaluation purposes, and study participation is voluntary. You will not receive compensation for your participation. If you complete the survey, we will take this as an indication that you have consented to participate.
