[nabs-l] Research Participant Recruitment - Online Survey - Win $50.00 (last reminder)

[Justin Haegele]

Hi Elizabeth,

Thank you for your question. And the answer is Yes. I completely agree with you that simply focusing on blindness would over simplify things, as it would only focus on one element that makes a person a person. Our goal with this study is to validate two instruments that will measure reasons why people with visual impairments are (or are not) active. In this study, we focus on factors such as ones intention to be active, attitudes toward activity, and perceived control of being active. These are constructs derived from the Theory of Planned behavior. The reason we are focusing specifically on individuals with visual impairments is that typically, researchers will use instruments that may not have been previously tested for people with visual impairments that may not be applicable. For us, we wanted to create an instrument specifically for this group. 
 
I hope this answers your question, and I am in complete agreement with you. Please let me know if I can provide any further info,
 
Have a wonderful day,
