Appendix B. Survey Instrument 1
Several Oasis of the Seas passengers who sailed on the Atlantis cruise from Miami, Fla., January 19–26, 2020, became sick with a drug-resistant strain of Shigella after the cruise. This highly contagious bacteria causes the diarrheal disease shigellosis. The U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention is doing a survey to learn how ship passengers became infected. We are asking all passengers to take part in this survey, even if they did not get sick.
By taking part in this survey, you will help - us to learn how people became sick. This will help improve prevention efforts. Your participation is voluntary, and you may skip any question you do not want to answer.
The survey includes questions about activities you did while on the cruise. Some of these questions are sensitive in nature, but your answers will be kept confidential and private. The survey will take about 10 minutes to complete.
