Yesterday's mail delivered a very official-looking envelope from the Department of Health and Human Services, addressed to "Resident" at my address. The letter enclosed stated that the United States Public Health Service had selected 200,000 random addresses to participate in a national study on health-related issues. A firm named Research Triange Institute is under contract to carry out the study, and soon an RTI interviewer would be in my neighborhood to provide more information. A copy of a sample ID card used by interviewers is shown, and the interviewer will ask a few questions and then may ask one or two members of your household to complete an interview. It is possible that no one in your household will be chosen, and you may decline to be interviewed, Every person chosen who completes the interview will receive $30 in cash.
I did an extensive Google search and it appears the letter and survey and Research Triangle Institute are on the up-and-up. However, I just wish they would try to provide some method to set up an appointment time, because I detest people coming to my door at random times. According to what Google said, the majority of the interview questions are answered using the interviewers laptop computer and the process should take no more than an hour. Any comments? Thanks.
