[Colorado-talk] citation question

[R. Darrell Saucedo]

Hi Arielle.

Here is a quote siting the source, and below the quote is the link to the
information:

"In AFB's survey of 1,000 adults, 75% said loss of independence would be
their top concern if they ever lost their eyesight, followed by inability
to read, identify medications and drive. The poll was conducted in January
by Widmeyer Research & Polling and Public Opinion Strategies. The margin of
error for the study is plus or minus 3.1 percentage points (confidence
level 95%)."

Here is the link to the information:

I hope this helps.

Thank you,

Darrell
