Introduction

Hello, my name is _______________ and I’m calling from _________________ about an upcoming project managed by the National Institutes of Health. The National Institutes of Health—or NIH—is a government agency that supports research on health.

We would like to tell you more about the project and, if you are interested, ask you a short series of questions to see if you are eligible to participate. We estimate this to take an average of 5 minutes, and this information collection has been approved by the Office of Management and Budget under PRA XXXX-XXXX.

NIH is looking for parents and caregivers of older teens aged 17 to 19 for a dynamic and diverse parent/caregiver feedback team to share their thoughts and opinions about research on how brains develop from childhood to adulthood. We’ll discuss the kinds of questions scientists are asking about topics like teens’ health, life experiences, activities, and identities. We want to make sure scientists are asking these questions in the best way possible. We also want to get your opinions on material NIH has created to tell people about the study so that it can be engaging and relevant.

The feedback teams are groups of people who provide their thoughts and opinions through surveys, interviews, or bulletin board discussions. The input from these feedback teams will help the ABCD Study® researchers ask questions about life experiences in the best way possible.

Feedback teams will run for up to three years. Not every feedback team member will participate in every activity; team members will be invited to at least one, but no more than three feedback activities per year. All feedback team activities will take place online.

Participation in the feedback team is voluntary and you can stop being part of the team at any time. You can decide which feedback activities you want to join. Your individual responses and personal information will be kept private.

Is this something you would like to participate in? [RECORD YES/NO ANSWER, THEN READ TEEN FEEDBACK TEAM DESCRIPTION.]

We are also looking for older teens aged 17 to 19 for a teen feedback team. Like the adult feedback team, teen feedback team members will be invited to survey, group discussion, or online bulletin board activities that will take place online.

If your teen participates, you must answer some eligibility questions and provide permission for them to participate in the feedback team. Your child will then need to answer a few eligibility questions.

Would your teen be interested in participating in the teen feedback team? [RECORD YES/NO ANSWER, THEN CONFIRM.]

Okay! I just want to confirm: [YOU, YOUR TEEN, BOTH YOU AND YOUR TEEN] are interested in participating in the [PARENT/CAREGIVER AND/OR TEEN] feedback team(s).

Eligibility Questions for Parents/Caregivers
