[NFB-Muslims] survey about medical access

[Heather Albright]

salaams,

The below research participant solicitation is being provided for 
informational purposes only. The National Federation of the Blind has no 
involvement in this research, but we believe that it may contribute to 
our research mission.

Dear Federationists, many thanks for completing our healthcare 
information accessibility survey thus far.

  * We still need 300 additional participants to complete this study;
    so, please spread the word about the survey to as many blind and low
    vision people as you can.

We would like to close this survey on September 30, 2021; so, we have a 
narrow window for receiving additional surveys.

Here is the link: https://uwt.az1.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_77chF5mNyhLS938

This is an important survey for our blindness community because it will 
give the members of blind consumer organizations an opportunity to 
register their experiences of finding healthcare information during the 
COVID-19 pandemic. Please give us as much of your personal experiences 
as you can so that our study could create a comprehensive picture of the 
healthcare information barriers blind people face particularly under 
pandemic conditions.

We will be contributing 1 dollar for every survey completed to NFB 
headquarters; so, please show your support by completing this survey 
immediately.

You will also have the option to be included in a draw for 10 $25 gift 
cards. Unfortunately, we did not get enough funding to do this study but 
we don’t want to miss the opportunity to take a nationwide-impression of 
what the healthcare information experiences of blindness community have 
been during these trying times. Besides publishing our research report 
in academic journals, the report will be available to blindness 
community. We will also be producing a public report which will be 
shared with as many local and state-level health departments as possible.
