NYF outreach to ensure Citymeals ok to reach out 

Hello. I’m your case manager XX and I wanted to ask if it would be alright if someone from

Citymeals on Wheels called you because you receive home delivered meals, about participating in a 

study with Columbia University about oral health and the home delivered meals you receive. 

If you are willing to consider participating, a staff member from Citymeals will call you briefly to 

discuss the study procedures. If you agree to participate, you will be asked to participate in a 20-30 

minute phone interview about your ability to eat. 

This is voluntary and consent to give information to be contacted for the study or not, will not impact 

the services you are currently receiving. 

Do I have your permission to ask someone from Citymeals to call you to determine your eligibility to 

participate? 

If client says “Yes”, please send us the name to Jose Luis Sanchez at Citymeals.

Guion de teléfono sobre elegibilidad para participar 

Hola. Mi nombre es “José Luis Sánchez” y soy el coordinador del programa de Citymeals on 

Wheels. Nos estamos asociando con la Universidad de Columbia con el fin de llevar a cabo un 

estudio que tiene por objeto evaluar la relación entre el estado de salud bucal, la capacidad de comer 

y la nutrición entre los destinatarios de comidas entregadas en casa. 

Le llamo para preguntarle si se plantearía la posibilidad de participar en este estudio. Si está 

dispuesto a plantearse la participación, un miembro del equipo de investigación le llamará para 

determinar su elegibilidad y también para explicarle los procedimientos del estudio. Si acepta 

participar, se le pedirá que participe en una entrevista telefónica de entre 20 y 30 minutos sobre su 

capacidad para comer. 

¿Me da su permiso para pedirle a un miembro del equipo de investigación de la Universidad de 

Columbia que le llame a usted para determinar su elegibilidad para participar?
