Follow up 1 and 2 Email Survey Reminder 2 for the Evaluation of the Public Education Campaign on Teen Tobacco Cohort II (ExPECTT II)

Dear [PARENT FNAME] [PARENT LNAME]:

Recently, we emailed you about the Evaluation of the Public Education Campaign on Teen Tobacco (ExPECTT) follow-up survey. As of [ADD DATE] our records show your child has not completed the survey. If your child has recently completed their survey, thank you for participating. Your child, [ChildFname], is one of more than 4,000 youth taking part in this study and their continued participation is critical to the success of this important research.

Please consider having your child complete the survey through the website as soon as possible. We will offer your child an incentive of $20, which they will receive in the form of a check, if they complete by [ADD DATE].

A parent or legal guardian must follow the steps to provide permission for her or him to complete the survey.

To complete the survey through the website on a personal computer, laptop, or tablet (the questionnaire cannot be accessed on a phone):

1. Open your interview browser and type in the study website address: [ADD URL]

2. Once you have reached the study website, type in the username and password exactly as shown below:

Username: [Username]

Password: [Password]

3. Once you’ve typed in your username and password, you will see instructions for completing this round of the study.

The information collected by this study will improve our understanding of how public education campaigns affect youth’s attitudes, beliefs, and behaviors toward tobacco use. Your participation is voluntary, but greatly appreciated. All information provided by your child 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.

If you have any more questions about this study, you can call the ExPECTT project assistance line toll-free at (800) 608-2955. If you have a question about your rights as a study participant, you can call RTI’s Office of Research Protection toll-free at (866) 214-2043.

I hope you choose to help with this important study. Thank you.

Sincerely,

Jennifer Duke, PhD
