[nagdu] looking for research

[Rena Seay]

Hi Julie, 
 
I did some digging over the weekend and was unable to find anything along the lines of research you are looking for.  You may consider creating a survey, I've done some work with surveys in the past and they aren't too difficult, now getting the public or blind people for that matter to answer them is a different matter.  Although today's on-line surveys are making the process considerably easier.

Heya all!

Does anyone know of research done about attitudes toward guide dogs?
I'm looking for anything done in a fairly scientific method that measures things like:
the public's attitude about guide dogs in stores or restaurants
attitudes about who most benefits from using a guide dog
perceptions about certification
blind peoples attitudes about owner training

I'm mainly interested in attitudes and perceptions.  I've seen surveys on health, access denials, specific guide dog program customer satisfaction and the GDUI survey.   None of those is really what I'm after though.

Ideas?
TIA
Julie
