Please complete this home study package in the following order.<br />

1) Read this memo all the way through. This memo provides you with information<br />

about what to bring with you to training, as well as instructions on how to complete<br />

the home study exercises. Please read this entire memo carefully.<br />

2) Transmit after NOON EST on December 5 th to pick up the home study <strong>and</strong> carefully<br />

review the 2003 NSDUH FI Manual <strong>and</strong> the 2003 NSDUH FI Computer Manual—<br />

focusing on the highlighted changes.<br />

December 12 th , 2002.<br />

The home study process is m<strong>and</strong>atory supplemental training. You will be<br />

compensated for the time spent on the home study (material review <strong>and</strong> home<br />

study exercises). You may record up to 6 hours on an ePTE. This ePTE can be<br />

submitted as soon as you complete the work. This time must be recorded on a<br />

separate ePTE <strong>and</strong> charged to 7190-552 [with the time listed in the Other column].<br />

Please note that the successful completion of the home study is necessary in order<br />

to attend the Veteran Training Conference in January <strong>and</strong> continue as a Field<br />

Interviewer on NSDUH. Any Field Interviewer who does not achieve a score of 80%<br />

on the home study will be required to complete an additional home study exercise<br />

administered over the phone by an RTI project member. Any FI who does not<br />

successfully complete the phone home study will be released from the project <strong>and</strong><br />

not be allowed to attend Veteran Training or continue working in 2003 as a Field<br />

Interviewer on NSDUH. Keep in mind that this is an open book exercise. You<br />

can use any of your project materials––including your new 2003<br />

manuals––to answer these questions. The sincere expectation is that<br />

EVERY FI will pass the home study.<br />
