Dear «First_name» «Last_name»,
Thank you for agreeing to participate in the [PUBLIC-FACING STUDY NAME] . We are reaching out to you because in «RA MONTH YEAR» you agreed to participate in the [PUBLIC-FACING STUDY NAME]. As you may recall, when you agreed to participate, «NAME OF INTERVIEWER AT BASELINE», a member of our team, told you that we would contact you every 3 months to confirm your contact information.
I am from a company called Abt Associates that runs the study. The Administration for Children and Families in the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services is paying for it. Your participation is an important way to help the research team learn more about services for families and help improve services for families in the future.
Around «Month/Year 15 months after RA», we will invite you to complete a survey to learn about your recent experiences. The survey will take about 45 minutes of your time. In appreciation of your time and effort, you will receive a $40 gift card after you complete the survey.
We want to keep in touch and be able to reach you for the next survey! To help with this we have sent a form via «EMAIL, TEXT, MAIL» that we would like you to complete. This form presents the information you provided when we spoke last.
If your address, email address, or telephone number are different from the information listed, please update as needed.
Also, please confirm the names, addresses, and telephone numbers of three people who usually know where to reach you. We would call these friends or relatives only if we cannot reach you. We would tell them that we are a researcher at Abt Associates, that you provided them as someone who would know how to get in touch with them, and ask them if they have any updated contact information. We would not share that you are participating in the study, any details about the services you are receiving, or anything else about you.
After you complete the form, please return it to us by responding to this «EMAIL, TEXT, IN THE ENCLOSED POSTAGE PAID ENVELOPE».
We will send you $5 as a thank you once we receive your form.
Being in the study is completely up to you, and you can end your participation at any time. All information you provide will be kept private, as much as the law allows. Your participation in the study will not affect your child welfare case or the services that are already available to you.
Thank you for taking the time to respond! We appreciate your continued involvement in this study.
Sincerely yours,
Kim Francis
Study Director
Abt Associates
