Good Afternoon President LaBarre,

 

I am contacting you on behalf of the SWEETHEART Study Team at the University of Texas at Austin to ask you to disseminate information about our research study to the members of the NFB of Colorado membership email list. We are seeking blind and low-vision adults to complete a survey about their diabetes or cardiovascular disease and earn $30. 

 

The study is expected to take less than an hour to complete. The purpose of the study is to identify the chronic disease self-management practices used by adults who have cardiovascular disease or diabetes. This study is being conducted to inform education and intervention for persons with chronic diseases and their healthcare providers. This research has been approved by the Institutional Review Board of the University of Texas at Austin and the National Federation of the Blind’s Research Advisory Council. If interested, participants can contact the research team at the following email address: sweetheartstudy at gmail.com <mailto:sweetheartstudy at gmail.com>  to request a link to the study.

 

Please let us know if you have any questions and thank you for your attention.

 

Sincerely,

 

The SWEETHEART Study Team

 

Investigators: Yessenia Castro, PhD. and Nazanin Heydarian, PhD
