YES. This is <caller name> calling for the National Birth Defects Prevention Study. I am calling to remind you of your group discussion on <day> at <time>. The location of your group discussion is at <facility>.
Your group discussion will take about two and one-half hours, plus travel time. Refreshments will be provided. You should have received a packet in the mail that contained directions to the discussion facility. It also contained the time and location of pick-up if you are using our taxi service. Please remember to bring your photo ID so you can enter the building.
Please plan to arrive at least 15 minutes early for a chance to win an additional $25.
We hope to gain valuable information from these group discussions to help improve the birth defects study you participated in. Thank you again for your time and effort.
