Here is the next explanation. Taking part in the survey is completely voluntary. Completely voluntary means
you can choose whether or not to take part. If you decide to take part, you can refuse to answer any
questions you do not like and you can stop the interview at any time you choose. Whether you choose to
take part or not, {your/NAME’s} disability benefits will not be affected in any way.
When I say your participation is completely voluntary, what does that mean to you?
PROBE: IF RESPONDENT SAYS: It is voluntary, PROBE: What does that mean?
INTERVIEWER: EXAMPLES OF ACCURATE ANSWERS ARE: I can decide to take part or not to take part.
I can refuse to take part if I want. I don’t have to do this. I can do this if I want. No one will take away my
benefits if I refuse, etc.

employment program allows workers with disabilities to work at reduced levels while they ease

persons for the opportunity to own their own businesses. Supported employment programs
provide job coaches or other on-the-job supports to help individuals with disabilities get and

Thank you very much for taking part in this survey. Because people like you are such a valued part of what
we do, I’d like you to think about the survey you just participated in. On a scale from 1 to 10 where one
means 'it was not a good use of time' and ten means “it was a good use of time,” which number between
1 and 10 best describes how you feel about your experience today?
