Attachment 6B. Telephonic script to contact Zika virus disease cases to obtain additional clinical information

Hello, my name is___________ and I work for the __________ health department. May I please speak to ______________/the parent or guardian of ____________?

I am contacting you as you were/your child was diagnosed with Zika virus disease in the last year. We are currently trying to learn more about Zika in children. We want to know more about what symptoms patients have and how often they need treatment in an emergency room or hospital. We also want to understand how their illness might differ from illnesses in adults. This information will be used to help doctors diagnose Zika in kids and provide parents better information about what to expect.

If you agree, we would like to ask you some questions about your/your child’s illness. We have some information already so it will just be a few additional questions. Do you have 5-10 minutes now to talk to me? If not, is there a better time to reach you?

Thank you for your time today.
