Dear [Community Name] Resident,
We need your help! The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) through the Office of Adolescent Health is sponsoring an evaluation of programs that are funded to reduce teen pregnancy. These programs work by educating young people on issues such as responsible behavior, relationships, and youth development. The purpose of this evaluation study is to learn more about risk behaviors of youth between the ages of 15-19 years old so that improvements can be made to teenage pregnancy prevention programs.
Your household has been selected to participate in this study. If you have children aged 15-19, we will be seeking permission for one youth or young adult from your household to participate in this study in order that we may learn more about risky behavior among youth, including beliefs, values, and social norms. If you and your child agree to participate, your child will be asked questions around family relationships, their community, friends, alcohol and drug use, and sexual activity. The interview will be conducted on a laptop computer with head phones and will take approximately 45 minutes. Participation in this study is voluntary. Either you or your child can refuse to participate.
Our interviewers for this project are trained to keep your information as secure as possible. Answers will never be identified as coming specifically from your household. All answers will be combined with information from over 1,000 households from your community.
One or more interviewers will be visiting your household to discuss this study. These interviewers are employed by ICF International to collect information on behalf of the CDC, and will be carrying a badge that identifies them as project representatives.
We look forward to talking with you. In the meantime, if you have any questions about this evaluation project, you can call Chad Rodi at ICF International to have your questions answered. You can call him collect at 404.321.3211.
