Hi! I’m ______________ [The recruiter provides his/her full name]. I am with Triad Health Project.

We are recruiting for a research study. The purpose of this study is to implement and evaluate ChiCAS Creando Acceso a la Salud (Girls Creating Access to Health), a small-group program designed to reduce HIV and increase safe use of hormone therapy. You have seen the flier.

Are you interested in seeing whether you are eligible to participate in the ChiCAS study for Latina transgender women?

[If the person says that she is not interested in being part of the research study, the recruiter should thank her for her time.]

Good, before I take too much of your time explaining the study and scheduling a time to thoroughly discuss the study, let me ask you a few questions to make sure you are eligible. Some of these questions may be sensitive, but your answers will be kept private and your name will be separated from your answers here.

[The recruiter asks the following questions and documents the answers provided. Read only the questions outlined in Column A and denote potential participant’s response in Column B. Follow instructions in Column C to determine whether the potential participant is eligible for that criterion and select the correct response in Column D.]

[Now there are 2 options:]

1. [If there is a “NO” for any question in Column D, the recruiter says:]

Thanks for your help. I really appreciate your interest in this study but the information that you have shared with us indicates that you are not eligible.

[The recruiter and the person say good-bye.]

2. [If there are zero “NO” answers and 8 “YES” answers in Column D, the recruiter says:]

It looks like you are eligible to participate in the study. You will need to get tested for HIV to confirm your eligibility. ChiCAS is a study that includes answering questions about your health and sexual behavior two times over a 6-7 month period. It also includes participating in 2 educational sessions virtually through WebEx or Zoom. We will help you learn how to use web-conferencing platforms. The sessions will provide you with information about PrEP, which is an HIV prevention method in which people take a pill daily to reduce the chances that they will get HIV from an infected sex partner; how to access transition-related healthcare services (such as hormone therapy); and how to use a condom correctly. Since PrEP is an HIV prevention method, participants need to be HIV negative to be part of the study, which is the reason why an HIV test will be conducted. You will receive $30.00 for answering questions by telephone the first time and $40.00 for answering questions by telephone the second time. You also will receive $40.00 for each of the 2 educational sessions you attend.

I would like to schedule a time so that you can take the test for HIV to confirm your negative status so that I can tell you more about the study, and to obtain your consent to participate. After that, we will give you a questionnaire to fill out.

[The recruiter and potential participant set up a time and place that offers privacy and is convenient for the potential participant to receive an HIV test, and review the consent form and complete the baseline assessment if the potential participant chooses to participate.]

Also, could you please give me your name and number? I will give you my number as well in case you need to change appointment time and place.
