Dear Resident:

The Food and Drug Administration’s Center for Tobacco Products (CTP) is conducting a study called the Evaluation of the Public Education Campaign on Teen Tobacco. Your address was randomly chosen along with more than 30,000 others across the U.S. RTI International, a nonprofit research organization, was selected by the FDA to conduct this study.

Please see the enclosed brief survey for an adult household member to complete to determine your household’s eligibility for this study.

Based on the responses to the enclosed survey, a member of your household may be invited to participate. If your household is selected, an RTI interviewer will be in your neighborhood to give you more information.

• The person completing the questionnaire is welcome to keep the enclosed $2 in appreciation for his or her time.

If a member of this household is eligible to participate, he or she will be offered $20 upon completing the interview.

Your participation is voluntary. You can refuse to answer any and all questions. All information provided by you will be kept private to the fullest extent allowable by law and used only for statistical purposes. You or your household will never be identified in any analysis, reports, or publications, and no one will try to sell you anything. There are no physical risks or direct benefits to you from answering our questions. However, you will be contributing to important research related to youth attitudes related to health, health behaviors, and advertisements they may have seen on TV and/or online.

Please share this information with any others in your household. Feel free to ask the interviewer any questions you have about this study.
