Panel Maintenance Letter for the Evaluation of the Public Education Campaign on Teen Tobacco Cohort II (ExPECTT II)

Dear [INSERT NAME]:

During the past year, your child(ren) participated in a survey for the Evaluation of the Public Education Campaign on Teen Tobacco (ExPECTT) a research study sponsored by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA). This study will provide FDA, policy makers, and researchers important information about youth exposure to public education messages on the health risks of smoking or using other tobacco products.

RTI International (RTI), a nonprofit research organization, was selected by the FDA to conduct this study. The information collected by this study will also improve our understanding of how public education campaigns affect youth’s attitudes, beliefs, and behaviors toward tobacco use. The ExPECTT study is longitudinal, that is, the study will follow the same children over a period of time.

We are preparing to conduct the next round of interviews and we need your help. For this study to be successful, it is important that we interview as many of the children as we can. We are writing you now to confirm that we still have your correct address, telephone number, and e-mail address. Please review and return the enclosed form in the postage-paid envelope provided. If the address, telephone number, and e-mail address on the form are correct, please check the “Information Correct” box and simply mail the form to us. If your information needs to be updated, please cross out the old information, write your new information on the form, and mail it back to us. If you expect to move soon and know your new address and telephone number, please provide that information along with the date you plan to move.

Thank you for taking time to provide us with this information. We would appreciate receiving your contact information in the next 2 weeks.

If you have any questions about the study, please contact us toll-free at (800) 608-2955 to speak with a project team member.

Sincerely,
