ATTACHMENT C: Intercept Interview of Pregnant Women


Hello, [respondent name], my name is __________ and I work for the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and I am working with the USVI Department of Health.


Would you be willing to talk with me for a few minutes (less than 20 minutes) to give me your opinions about Zika virus? I need to speak with pregnant women who are over 18 years old.


Are you over 18 years of age? Yes – continue No – end interview


Are you pregnant? Yes – continue No – end interview


Have you been told by a healthcare professional that you have or have had a Zika virus infection? (based on symptoms or a laboratory test)?


No —continue Yes – end interview (read script)


I am sorry to hear that you have tested positive for Zika.  I am grateful for your willingness to speak with me today, but I am only allowed to ask questions of pregnant women who do not have Zika.  So, I cannot ask you any more questions.  Please be sure to work closely with your doctor to monitor your health and your baby’s health throughout the remainder of your pregnancy.  I wish you the very best. And, thanks again for your willingness to speak with me today.


Section 1. Introduction


Great! Thank you for your willingness to share your opinions with me. Your opinions will help us make decisions about what we can do to help pregnant women. I have just a few questions that will take less than 20 minutes.


Before I begin I want to go over a couple of items:


  • This interview is voluntary. You do not have to answer any questions you don’t want to.


  • There are no right or wrong answers. I am interested in your opinion. If you don’t understand the question, feel free to let me know and I can ask it another way.


Public reporting burden of this collection of information is estimated to average 20 minutes per response, including the time for reviewing instructions, searching existing data sources, gathering and maintaining the data needed, and completing and reviewing the collection of information. An agency may not conduct or sponsor, and a person is not required to respond to a collection of information unless it displays a currently valid OMB control number.  Send comments regarding this burden estimate or any other aspect of this collection of information, including suggestions for reducing this burden to CDC/ATSDR Information Collection Review Office, 1600 Clifton Road NE, MS D-74,  Atlanta, Georgia 30333; ATTN:  PRA (xxx-xxxx).

  • This is not a test, so feel free to say you don’t know or don’t have an opinion to offer.


  • The information you provide today will not be shared with anyone except those involved in this project. It’s important to know that the questions I’m about to ask you will not affect any of the services you are receiving. Our reports will include the responses of ALL the women who talk with us. Your answers cannot be linked back to you.


  • With your permission, I would like to record our conversation. I do this simply to make sure that I capture all of the information that you share and so I can listen to what you have to say and not worry about taking notes. The recording helps me in writing my report and is used for that purpose only. Is it okay for me to record our conversation?
