INTRO. We would like you to be in a voluntary study about how Afghan evacuees who were resettled through Operation Allies Welcome have adapted to life in the U.S. and how Afghans can be supported better. We are interviewing over 1,100 Afghans like yourself across the country. It is funded by the Office of Refugee Resettlement and being conducted by two research organizations, the Urban Institute and SSRS.
We would like to ask some questions about you and your family - your education, work, community, and access to services such as healthcare, transportation, and housing. It takes up to 55 minutes, but can sometimes be shorter. For your participation, we will send you a $50 gift card.
Before we start, we just need to share a few details. You don’t have to answer any questions you don’t want to answer, and you can stop the interview at any time. The answers you give to us will be private and will not have your name on them. You will continue to receive social services and benefits regardless of your decision to participate in the study. Your responses will be combined with those of other Afghans for analysis. The data will be stored for future research without your name.
Finally, there is no risk associated with your participation because of the care we are taking to keep your name and your answers safe. Please be aware that while there are no direct benefits to you, your participation will help the Office of Refugee Resettlement understand what Afghans like you are going through and how to improve the resettlement experience.
Also, a federal agency may not conduct or sponsor, and a person is not required to respond to, a collection of information unless it displays a currently valid OMB control number. The OMB number for this information collection is 0970-XXXX and the expiration date is XX/XX/XXXX.
If you have any comments about how long this survey took or any other aspect of this survey, including suggestions for how to reduce the time needed, you can send comments to the Office of Refugee Resettlement at asr@acf.hhs.gov or call and leave a message at 202-401-9246.
