The National Institutes of Health Needs Your Feedback about COVID-19 Tests

The National Federation of the Blind is working directly with the National
Institutes of Health, The White House, and other research partners on the
accessibility of at-home COVID-19 tests. We recognize that you receive many
surveys. This one about your experiences using at-home COVID-19 test kits
is especially critical. Please take the time today to complete the
following survey. It takes approximate five to ten minutes.

About Our Efforts

The National Federation of the Blind closely monitors the COVID-19
pandemic, which is changing everyone’s lives but has unique effects on
blind people <https://nfb.org/civicrm/mailing/url?u=27507&qid=7748070>. In
January, President Riccobono sent a letter to Acting FDA Commissioner Dr.
Janet Woodcock <https://nfb.org/civicrm/mailing/url?u=27508&qid=7748070>
expressing our dismay that the government began distributing test kits that
could not be used by those who are blind or have low vision. President
Riccobono also wrote a follow-up letter on February 4
<https://nfb.org/civicrm/mailing/url?u=27509&qid=7748070>.

The administration heard us and took action. For the past several months,
the National Federation of the Blind has engaged in regular communication
with the National Institutes of Health to monitor their progress advising
companies how to modify existing and new test kits to be more usable by
everyone with disabilities. Some of our members are now directly working
with these companies and the NIH as subject-matter experts in nonvisual and
low-vision accessibility. This survey presents an opportunity to bolster
our work in demonstrating that the blind will accept nothing less than
full, independent, and private access to our healthcare.

We are committed to providing solutions and holding the government
accountable. The health and safety of all our members, colleagues, and
friends is always our top priority.

Take the survey now.

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.
