RECRUITMENT SCREENER

June 2021

Introduction

Hello, my name is _______________ and I’m calling from _________________about an upcoming research project sponsored by the U.S. Federal COVID-19 Response Team.

We want to talk with healthcare providers who have treated COVID-19 positive patients about how we can better reach people with an important resource for information about available COVID-19 treatment clinical trials and treatment options.

We are interested in recruiting participants who are willing to participate in up to six qualitative virtual feedback sessions (online bulletin boards, focus groups, in-depth interviews, website usability testing activities [i.e., card sorts]) over a 12-month period. Each feedback session will take place virtually via Zoom, and last, on average, 60 minutes.

To maintain participants’ privacy, we will use first names only during the sessions and your name will not be used in any project materials. To thank you for your time, you will be given a monetary token of appreciation following each activity that you participate in. To see if you qualify to participate, we need to ask you a few questions. These questions will take less than 6 minutes.
