RECRUITMENT EMAIL FOR KEY INFORMANT INTERVIEW PARTICIPANTS
Dear [Partner Name],
I would like to invite you to participate in a research study to determine the perceptions of stroke care providers on the factors that influence implementation of stroke awareness campaigns in their community. I am conducting this study to meet dissertation
requirements as a doctoral candidate at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, Gilling School of Global Public Health.
The specific aims are to identify hospital stroke coordinator and EMS provider perceptions of barriers and facilitators to implementation of stroke awareness campaigns in their local communities and to identify hospital stroke coordinator and EMS provider opinions about how to improve the implementation of stroke awareness campaigns in their local
communities.
There was considerable variability in the implementation of the BE FAST Bella Stroke Awareness Campaign. Individual partners decided which materials to order, how many, and how they would distribute the materials. This provides a timely opportunity to learn from stakeholders about their perceptions of the campaign and factors that influenced its
implementation in their local community. We want to hear your opinions so we can improve stroke awareness campaigns. If you agree to participate, I will schedule a 30-minute,
telephone meeting with you. During this meeting, I will ask you some questions about your perceptions of the BE FAST Bella Stroke Awareness Campaign. You will be invited to a half day meeting in the fall to hear the results of the key informant interview and work with others to generate strategies for improving future campaigns.
Participation in this study is voluntary and confidential. Your name will not be used and this site will be blinded and only described in general terms. Though direct quotes may be used in the final dissertation, your name and other identifying information will remain
anonymous.
Please let me know if you are willing to participate in this study. Sincerely,
Jessica Link
