Dear [RESPONDENT’S NAME]:

The Food and Drug Administration’s (FDA’s) Center for Tobacco Products is seeking your continued participation in the Evaluation of the Fresh Empire Campaign on Tobacco (EFECT). You are one of more than 2,100 people taking part in this wave of the study. We thank you for your continued help in this important study.

Your participation is important and will contribute to valuable research related to awareness, exposure, and receptivity to campaign messages. We will offer you $25 as a token of appreciation if you complete the survey. You will receive an additional $5, for a total of $30, if you complete the survey online by [DATE].

If you do not complete the survey online by [DATE], one of our professional interviewers will try to contact you to schedule a time to complete the survey in person. You are welcome to complete the survey online even after our professional interviewer begins contacting you to schedule a time to complete the survey in person.

This study provides the FDA, policy makers, and researchers critical information about exposure to public education messages on the health risks of smoking or using other tobacco products. The information collected by this study will also improve our understanding of attitudes, beliefs, and behaviors toward tobacco use. We are interested in what has changed in your life since we surveyed you last. RTI International, a nonprofit research organization, was selected by the FDA to conduct this study.
