Attachment C3: Fresh Empire Screener (Survey)

[THE FOLLOWING TEXT WILL BE PRESENTED BEFORE THE SCREENER]:

Fors Marsh Group (FMG), a research organization, is conducting a research study sponsored by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA). FMG will conduct an online survey with 800 teens ages 13-17 to get their opinions regarding a variety of tobacco-related facts intended to prevent tobacco use among youth. Participants in the study will receive a $10 gift card.

We would like to ask you to take a short screening survey to see if you qualify for this study. The screening survey asks questions about your tobacco-related behaviors as well as some general demographic questions which will only take about 5 minutes. Your answers to the questions will be kept private, meaning we won’t share them with anyone outside the research team. We will try our best to maintain the privacy of data collected. Still, a breach could occur by accident or as a result of hacking.  Your participation is voluntary and you can stop at any time. There is no direct benefit to you for participating in the screening survey. If we determine that you are eligible, you will be invited to take the online survey.

If you have any questions about the study, you may contact the research team through Shane Mannis of FMG at (571) 858-3757 or pi@forsmarshgroup.com.
