Follow up 3 and 4 Lead Letter for the Evaluation of the Public Education Campaign on Teen Tobacco Cohort II (ExPECTT II)

Dear Parent,

The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) Center for Tobacco Products is conducting the next round of the Evaluation of the Public Education Campaign on Teen Tobacco (ExPECTT). You are one of more than 4,000 participants who took part in the first round of this study. We thank you for your help in this important study.

This study will provide FDA, policy makers, and researchers important 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 still help us improve our understanding of how public education campaigns affect participant’s attitudes, beliefs, and behaviors toward tobacco use. FDA has hired RTI International (RTI), a not-for-profit survey research organization, to conduct the study.

By continuing to take part in this study, you will have a unique opportunity to contribute to valuable research related to awareness, exposure, and receptivity to campaign messages. Because your continued contribution is important, we will offer you an incentive of $30 if you complete the survey through the website on or before [ADD DATE] and $25 after [ADD DATE]. This incentive will be provided via email as a digital gift card.

For this wave of data collection, we will only contact you via mail, email, or phone. We offer online participation in the ExPECTT study as a way to continue your participation without the need to meet with an interviewer in person.
