The below research participant solicitation is being provided for
informational purposes only. The National Federation of the Blind has no
involvement in this research



To be eligible for this study, participants must:

·        Have a Low-vision diagnosis.

·        Be over age 18

·        Live in the U.S.

My name is Lauren Ashley Hughes, and I am a Visiting Assistant Professor at
Mississippi State and a graduate student at the Ball State University. I am
being supervised in my research by Dr. Shireen Kanakri at Ball State
University. I am conducting an online study investigating how contrast in
the interior environment can affect a low-vision person’s perception of the
environment and their behavior within that environment. I am looking for
low-vision participants with a low-vision diagnosis that are over the age
of 18 and live in the United States of America to participate in my study.



This study consists of an online survey, which should take you less than
fifteen minutes to complete. All of your responses will be anonymous and
confidential.  Your willingness to participate in the survey will allow
interior designers and architects to learn how to design the built
environment to accommodate the low-vision population more effectively in
the future.



To begin the study, please go to:

The survey can be accessed and filled out by computer or by mobile device.



If you have any questions before, during or after the study, feel free to
contact me at 662-386-4887 or by email at ahughes at caad.msstate.edu. Dr.
Kanakri can be reached at smkanakri at bsu.edu.



Thank you in advance for your participation in our research.



Warmest regards,

Lauren Ashley Hughes

The National Federation of the Blind knows that blindness is not the
characteristic that defines you or your future. Every day we raise the
expectations of blind people, because low expectations create obstacles
between blind people and our dreams. You can live the life you want;
blindness is not what holds you back.
