Model Recruiter Talking Points

Attachment 4 Model Recruiter Training Talking Points

Who to Recruit

• We’re going to give you [insert #] coupons to give to other trans women who you associate with so that they can be in the study too.

• Give the coupons to people you know who also know you.

• Do NOT give the coupons to strangers.

• Give the coupons to people who live in [insert project area].

• Give the coupons to people who have not already participated in the study.

Coupons

• Everyone has to have a coupon to be in the study.

• Tell people you recruit to have the coupon with them when they come in or when they call to make an appointment.

Process

• The whole process for the survey takes about 1 hour.

• Children aren’t allowed to sit in on the interview, so ask the people you recruit to have someone watch their children if they have any.

• Everyone who completes an interview will get [survey token of appreciation]. Everyone who also does an HIV test will get an additional [HIV test token of appreciation].

• People who aren’t capable of completing the interview won’t be allowed to participate in the study.

Reward

• You will get paid [recruiter token of appreciation] for each person you recruit who is selected for the study and who completes the interview; the [recruiter token of appreciation] is not guaranteed just for recruiting someone.

• You will not be paid for someone who is not selected for the study.

• You will not be paid for someone who has already participated.

• You will not be paid for someone who does not complete an interview.

• The computer determines who gets to recruit other people for the study and how many coupons they will get.

• Coupons will expire and the study will end at some point.

Recruiter Information

• We ask questions that only you know so that we can confirm it is you when you come to get your rewards.

• We link the numbers on the coupons we give you to the coupon you brought in, so we know who to pay.

• Call the office to find out if you are owed a reward.

• We can’t tell you who came in with a coupon from you.

• We will only pay you. Don’t send someone else in to get paid.

Do you have any questions? Thanks for helping us, and remember, give the coupons to people you know.
