Appendix N: Recruitment Script YEARS Interviews

Hello. My name is [SCREENER’S NAME]. I’m calling from Child Trends. May I speak with [Program Director/administrator/Program Facilitator/Partner Organization Staff name]?

I’m calling about a research study with Office of Family Assistance-funded Healthy Marriage and Relationship Education Grantees to better understand the Healthy Marriage and Relationship Education (HMRE) services provided for youth aged 14-24. Child Trends is contracting with the Administration for Children and Families in the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services to conduct this study. The goal of the 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/administrator, and in some sites, staff working at partner organizations.

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 are hoping you may be interested in participating in one of these interviews while we are on our site visit from [Dates]. Participation is voluntary, and we expect that the interviews will take 60 minutes, plus an additional estimated 30 minutes for the time to coordinate the interviews, review the instructions, and follow up. During the observations of program sessions, no one from your organization will be asked to interact with us or provide us with any information, so this part of the site visit will not require any of your staff’s time.

To thank you for your participation, interview respondents will receive a $25 Visa gift card.
