2003 National Survey on Drug Use and Health Field Interviewers
David Cunningham, National Field Director
SUBJECT: Home Study Package for the 2003 NSDUH Veteran Training Conference
You’re invited to become an essential part of the 2003 National Survey
on Drug Use and Health Veteran Training Conference!
Consider this shipment your invitation to join your colleagues
for an informative and interactive training program in January.
Enclosed are the materials necessary to successfully prepare for the 2003 NSDUH
Veteran Training Conference. Please complete all parts of this home study
package within seven (7) days of receipt. Along with this memo, you should have
received the 2003 NSDUH FI Manual (shrink-wrapped with a green cover) and the 2003
FI Computer Manual (a green tape-bound manual). Please remove last year’s 2002 FI
Manual pages from your 2002 FI Manual binder and insert the new 2003 FI Manual
pages, cover, and spine label.
If you did not receive one or more of these items, please contact your FS immediately.
This will help to ensure that everyone has all of the necessary materials.
Just like last year, you will be completing the home study electronically using your
Gateway laptop. You will be able to input answers to the home study questions directly
into the laptop and transmit your answers to RTI. It is important that you review the
2003 FI Manual and 2003 FI Computer Manual before answering the questions in this
assignment. The home study questions cover the changes for the 2003 study and
review some of the current procedures that will continue into next year.
You do not need to finish the home study in one sitting––you can perform a break-off
to exit the home study and re-enter as many times as you wish. When you re-enter the
home study, you can review and change your responses. When you are ready to
transmit, answer YES to question number 25 and your home study will be ready to
transmit.
