Hi Veronica,
Your plan sounds great! And to answer Mary - yes, any of you can feel free to share the email message with friends who you believe meet the survey requirements. The email will ask them to email the Insulet usability team (which I will manage) and I'll confirm they meet the requirements then send each person the survey directly.
I'll send the final survey message to this group right now!
Best,
Carina

Hi Carina.
Thank you so much for your patience.
Here’s what we are thinking so far.
Email lists: Any of us who are subscribed to the ACB and NFB’s diabetes email lists can forward your email to those lists, reaching many members.
General distribution
We have written to our administrative contact at the NFB, Jen White to ask if you could send them the invite email, which they could distribute through their general channel. We have explained the processes and progress of preparing and revising this survey.
We are scrambling to find the appropriate contact at the ACB, in order to get wider distribution.
Even though many members of these organizations would receive your email who may not live with diabetes, there are many members who do, that may not subscribe to the diabetes-specific email lists.
First steps: Could you send me a final copy of the email invite, just so we can do a final review and reminder of its wording.
After I respond, which will be very quick, you can feel free to send it to Jen White at jwhite at nfb.org <mailto:jwhite at nfb.org> .
We have made it clear that we believe this survey is accessible and ready for distribution and that you would like to get started right away.
Please let us know if you have any further questions and keep in touch. We will also let you know if ACB or NFB require anything else from us.
Thanks so much for your work on our behalf.

Subject: Re: RE: Insulet Accessibility Survey
Hi all,
I've implemented your feedback into the survey! Any thoughts on how we can work together to distribute it?
To be eligible to take the survey, someone needs to:
* Have diabetes
* Use insulin therapy, including any pump brand or MDI (3+ injections per day)
* Use a CGM
* Use a smartphone
As a note, I've taken into consideration that not everyone who needs improved insulin therapy will own a smartphone. Though it's a criterion for this survey, we won't forget about other groups in need.
I'm hoping for 10-15 blind or low vision respondents to this survey that meet the above criteria. To distribute, the email I sent you all will be the same, but instead of including the survey link, the email will ask them to email usability at insulet.com <mailto:usability at insulet.com> directly and then we will send the survey.
All that's left is figuring out the best way between us to send out that email to the right people.
Let me know your thoughts!
Best,
Carina

Hi Carina and all.
We actually have a meeting planned among outselves at 4:00 est on the 16th. So, to the group, it was Kat who could not meet before 1:30 EST so what do all of you think about a meeting between 12:00 EST and 2:00 EST, a one-hour meeting?
Melanie, when are you going out of town, on the 19th, or later?
I realize another meeting on Friday would be a long Zoom day for you, Patricia. But what do you all think about 12:30 EST or 9:30 Pacific on Friday the 16th?
Thanks so much and it's so exciting to be making progress.

I'm really interested in each of your feedback about the survey. I'd like to schedule a review session with all 6 of us + another researcher to verbally discuss the details. This will be a 1hr meeting and each of you will be compensated $100 for your feedback. To make sure we use our time efficiently, please send your feedback to me ahead of time via email. When we meet, I'll use the feedback as an outline for our discussion.
Here is the link to the survey in "preview" mode if you'd like to take it again. In this mode, you can take it as many times as you want and access all of the different questions.

The web site for the audio description project is: https://adp.acb.org
Sometimes all it takes is to describe what you're doing when you're doing it in the video. Many of us who attended school as blind children can tell you that the classroom full of sighted children said they learned better when the teacher had to explain things to the blind kids, rather than just writing on the blackboard. Boy am I dating myself here! So, I don't want to scare you off of describing your videos. It's not hard and there's lots of help.
Thanks.

Veronica et al,
Carina, audio description is the process by which a describer makes what is visual audible, so a blind or low vision individual can follow the action in a movie, live theater, TV show, etc. etc.
ACB does have an Audio Description Program and I would refer you to Jo Lynn Bailey-Page, former colleague of mine when I served as ACB's Director of Development.
You can reach her at:
jbailey-page at acb.org <mailto:jbailey-page at acb.org>
You can also visit: www.acb.org <http://www.acb.org> and search for Audio Description to learn more about how it all works.
So, when shooting a training video as an example, audio description can be integrated to describe what the trainer is doing and/or what is happening as the trainer programs their device, so a blind or VI individual can follow what is being explained!
HTH!

Tom

Hi Carina.
I have had a great time playing in preview mode. The question that is just a bit puzzling is about how we watch videos. As far as I know, we don't use different apps to watch videos. But some videos allow us to turn on "audio description". I'm not an audio description expert but I do know that YouTube does some on their own. The ACB has an audio description project that could give you a better education than I can as to how that would get done for company videos and when I'm more with it, I might even remember that web site. I'll try and find it for you.
But the better question in the survey might be, do you rely on audio description when watching videos?
What do the rest of you think?
Thanks so much.

Carina,
I received my survey and will work on it over the next couple of days. Today is a travel day at the end of our vacation. One thing I noted was that you listed NFB and AFB as the two organizations. The second organization is actually ACB which stands for American Council of the Blind. At some point we might want to explore getting your survey out to other organizations for a broader response but for now these are the two organizations represented in our task force not including the folks from Canada.
Thanks and I look forward to completing the survey.

Hi all in the task force!
The next steps for us will be for me to share the survey with all of you for vetting. Veronica and Tom previously completed study sessions with us and are familiar with the survey, so I will send them the survey in preview mode, which won't collect their responses. For Patricia, Melanie, and Mary, I will share the regular survey link with you and compensate you.
Please keep in mind that this survey is designed for those who are currently using a CGM. Anyone who uses a CGM and either an insulin pump of any brand or 2+ injections per day will be able to take it.
The survey is currently going through a medical and compliance review. I expect to be able to send it to you all sometime next week.
Thanks for your support on this!

Hi Carina.
Thank you for reaching out to us and for your interest in moving forward.
Here is the proposal from the task force regarding the survey.
First, we need the survey to be vetted before it goes out. We want to make sure that it is completely accessible to those blind or low vision participants trying to fill it out.
Second, we would also like to verify that the questions make sense to a person who is blind or low vision. By this we mean, good descriptions, no questions that seem patronizing or fostering negative stereotypes. Though this is highly unlikely, it's important that this survey sets up a positive beginning with any future customers.
Once we have completed the vetting of the survey, we can use the distribution lists provided by the NFB, ACB and CNIB. This would mean that each organization can send out an email blast with the invite to sign up for the survey. This would mean that we are not providing a large number of individual email addresses to you, possibly against the wishes of the holders of those addresses.
It would also potentially provide you with many more participants, making any survey more valuable to you.
Please reach out to us if this makes sense to you, if you have any further questions or with thoughts on how to proceed.
Thank you again and we look forward to hearing from you soon.
the Accessible Insulin Pump Taskforce
Veronica Elsea, Chair
The Accessible Insulin Pump Taskforce is a collaboration between the National Federation of the Blind (NFB), the American Council of the Blind (ACB) and the Canadian national Institute for the Blind (CNIB), working toward the development of accessible insulin pumps that the blind can use safely and independently to manage their diabetes.

Subject: Insulet Accessibility Survey
Hi all from the Task Force,
For those who I haven't officially met, my name is Carina, and I am a user researcher at Insulet.
I'm hoping to distribute a survey about accessibility to people with diabetes who have limited vision, partial blindness, or complete blindness. Do you have a list of people who may be interested in completing our survey?
Once I have a list, I can email potential participants directly telling them how to contact us to learn if they qualify for the survey. Please let me know how we can best work together on this!
Best,
Carina
