Shaping the Future with Your Opinions
137074

Dear NFO MySurvey Member,
Would you please give this questionnaire to the person in your household whose age and sex are
indicated above (this may be you)? Thank you!
TO THE HOUSEHOLD MEMBER HELPING WITH THIS STUDY:
Today’s survey covers a wide variety of topics, such as your current lifestyle and choices you would
make given different situations. You may remember doing a similar survey last year.
I would like to assure you that your answers will be completely confidential. Your answers will betabulated with information from thousands of other participants and only the total results will be used
for academic research purposes.
The survey is lengthy. To pace yourself, you can answer the booklet in sections if you like. Most of
my questions can be easily answered by simply placing an “X” in the appropriate box or boxes. In thequestions where I have asked you to write in your answers, please be as specific as possible. Pleasetake your time to read each question thoroughly and be sure to answer all the questions. Rememberthat there are no right answers to this survey, we are just interested in your opinions.
Once you have finished, please return the questionnaire to me in the enclosed postage-paid
envelope.
As a token of my appreciation, I have enclosed a $5 bill.
Thank you for your continued cooperation.
Sincerely,

Carol Adams
