<p class="MsoNormal">Research Title: Development and Evaluation of an Accessible Menopausal Health Education Program for Blind and Low-Vision Women<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Being conducted by: University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Purpose of the Study<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">The purpose of this study is to develop and evaluate an accessible menopausal health education program designed for blind and low-vision (BLV) women. The program has been developed to support menopause-related symptom recognition and self-management
for BLV women. Through this study, we aim to test whether the program can support the improvement of menopause-related knowledge and self-management and whether participants feel that the content is accessible and applicable to their daily lives, in addition
to what works well and needs improvement.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Role of the Participants and Anticipated Length of the Study
<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Participants will attend a single 60-minute virtual education session delivered via Zoom. During the session, they will learn about menopause, symptom recognition, overlapping symptoms related to blindness, and practical self-management
strategies. Participants will complete a menopause knowledge questionnaire before and after the session, and a post-session survey about their experience with the program. The total time will take approximately 90 minutes.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Proposed Participant Compensation<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Yes, Yes. Participants who attend the program and complete the pre- and post-test and surveys will receive a $20 Amazon gift card via email.<o:p></o:p></p>
