These questions are part of a data collection effort about how to prevent substance abuse and HIV infection. The questions are being asked of hundreds of other individuals throughout the United States. The data findings will be used to help prevention initiatives learn more about how to keep young people from using drugs and getting infected with HIV.
Completing this questionnaire is voluntary. If you do not want to answer any of the questions, you do not have to. If you decide not to participate in this survey, it will have no effect on your participation in direct service programs. However, your answers are very important to us. Please answer the questions honestly—based on what you really do, think, and feel. Your answers will not be told to anyone in your family or community. Do not write your name anywhere on this questionnaire.
We would like you to work fairly quickly, so that you can finish. Please work quietly by yourself. If you have any questions or don’t understand something, let the data collector know.
We think you will find the questionnaire to be interesting and that you will like filling it out. Thank you very much for being an important part of this data collection effort!
