Appendix K: Recruitment Script—YEARS Site Visits

Hello. My name is [SCREENER’S NAME]. I’m calling from Child Trends. May I speak with [PROGRAM DIRECTOR/ADMINISTRATOR]?

I’m calling about a research study Child Trends is conducting with OFA-funded Healthy Marriage and Relationship Education Grantees to better understand the HMRE services provided for youth aged 14-24. The goal of this study is to describe youth-serving HMRE programs, participant and partner characteristics, and program implementation characteristics, and to identify promising approaches used by grantees to better serve youth in HMRE programs.

As a part of this effort, Child Trends will be conducting site visits with up to nine OFA-funded HMRE grantees. During the site visits, we will conduct observations of one or two HMRE program sessions with youth and conduct interviews with program facilitators, program directors/administrators, and in some sites, staff working at partner organizations. To thank them for their participation, interview respondents will receive a $25 Visa gift card.

Please note that an 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 control number for this collection is XXXX-XXXX and it expires on XX/XX/XXXX.

We want to collect information from a range of service sites all around the country. In order to make sure that your organization is eligible to participate in the study, I need to ask you a few questions. This will take about 5 minutes; do you have time to answer the questions now?
