Dear [embedded mental healthcare provider name],
We
are writing today to formally invite you to participate in a research
study, entitled “Mixed-Methods Evaluation of AF’s Newly
Established Integrated Operational Support Embedded Teams for
Tip-of-the-Spear Airmen.” Your participation would consist of a
one-time, 30-minute confidential interview.
The
overarching objective of this study is to understand the barriers to
implementing and accessing embedded mental healthcare services, and
to identify strategies and innovative solutions for improving
embedded mental healthcare services. Interview data will be used to
advise line and medical leadership on strategies geared toward
improving embedded mental healthcare capabilities for airmen in
tip-of-the-spear communities, as well as enhancing readiness of
airmen in these environments.
The interview is voluntary,
and can be completed over the phone or video conference. All
answers will be confidential and reported in aggregate with responses
from others. The
interview questions have been approved by the Air Force Survey
Office. The Survey Control Number for this effort is
AF20-126FES.
Your participation is critical to the success
of this study and the improvement of embedded mental health care
across the Air Force. If you are interested in participating, please
reply to this email and we will set up a time to speak.
Thank
you for your time!
Sincerely,
Rachael
