Hello, my name is <interviewer name>. I am calling on behalf of the <state health department name>. Is this [name]? We are contacting you about a recent illness. You may have already been contacted by the health department. I would like to ask you a few additional questions about your (the patient’s) illness and about any exposures you (the patient) may have had before becoming ill. Your help in the investigation is very important and may help prevent others from getting sick. Your participation is voluntary, and you may refuse to answer any question at any time. All information will be kept confidential to the extent permitted by law. No names or other identifying information will be used in any reports. This interview will likely take about 15 minutes. Are you willing to help by participating in this interview? <Make sure the patient is over 18. If they are a minor, you need parental consent to interview.>
☐ Yes
Thank you. Before we begin, can you confirm your date of birth for me? This is done to protect their security and make sure you are talking to the correct person.
Now that I have confirmed your identity, I can tell you that we are talking about your recent <pathogen> diagnosis. <Pathogen> is a diarrheal illness and it was detected after you provided your health care provider with a specimen, such as stool, blood, or urine.
☐ No
Thank you for your time. Can I answer any questions for you? If you wish at any time to complete the questionnaire, please call <phone number>.
Clinical Information: First, I have a few questions about your (the patient’s) illness. |

Sources of food prepared at home: Now I have a few questions about where the food you (the patient) ate came from that was prepared at home in the 7 days before your illness began. This isn’t necessarily where you shopped during that week, but where the food you (the patient) ate came from, which could include older shopping purchases. This could include grocery stores, warehouse stores, farmers’ markets, home delivery, delis, swap meets, ethnic or specialty markets, butchers, live animal markets, food or meal subscription services, or groceries that were bought several weeks ago but consumed in the 7 days before you (the patient) got sick. I’m going to ask a few questions about stores you (the patient) may have shopped at, as well as any shopper card numbers you (the patient) may have. Store shopper or membership information can help provide detailed information, such as brands, varieties, purchase date, that you may not know or remember. You may also be able to access your own purchase history through an online account. We can then compare it with other people’s purchase histories to see if the same food is reported or identified. Your purchase history will only be shared on a need-to-know basis with local, state, or federal staff during the investigation. This information could help prevent additional illnesses. Additionally, I’ll also ask a few questions about dietary practices and restrictions. |

Sources of food prepared outside the home: Now I have a few questions about the food that you (the patient) ate outside your (the patient’s) home or that was prepared outside your home such as restaurants, fast food chains, or take out. It could be helpful to check credit card statements or receipts or phone photos to refresh your memory. I’m going ask about each place you (the patient) would have eaten food from during the 7 days before you were sick. |

Race, Ethnicity, Languages, and Occupation: In this section, we will ask questions about your (the patient’s) race, ethnicity, languages spoken at home, and occupation. We are collecting this information from all ill people. By knowing more about your (the patient’s) race, ethnicity, languages, and occupation we can get a better idea of health risks you (the patient) may have and foods you might eat, that might help us identify what caused you to become sick. You (the patient) may belong to more than just one race or ethnicity; please check all that apply to you (the patient). These questions are optional, and you may choose not to answer them. |
