Before we begin our questions, I want to share a few key points about this interview.
This interview provides RTI with the opportunity to learn more about [GRANTEE AGENCY]—their strategies for identifying and serving domestic victims of human trafficking, the services they provide to victims, and the ways in which agencies collaborate to meet the needs of victims. We’re also interested in hearing your thoughts about how the [DEMONSTRATION PROJECT] is working, including successes and challenges. Information from the evaluation will inform future program development and evaluation and provide information for ongoing program improvement to Family and Youth Services Bureau (FYSB) grantees.
Participating in this interview is completely voluntary. The interview should last about 1 hour and 15 minutes. 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 number for this information collection is 0970-XXXX and the expiration date is XX/XX/20XX.
The questions that we will be asking you are probably topics that you would discuss with colleagues, but you may decline to answer any question or stop the interview at any time. We will not share your responses with anyone outside the RTI evaluation team, to the extent permitted by law. Our reports will combine information across all the individuals we talk with about [GRANTEE AGENCY]. You will not be identified by name in any reports. If we would like to quote you, we will first ask for your permission. We’ll be taking notes, but if you don’t mind, we’d also like to record the conversation as a backup for our own use. We will delete the audio recording after we have finalized the notes, and only the RTI evaluation team will have access to the audio recording or notes. Are you okay with us recording our discussion?
Do you have any questions before we begin?
