Subject: Fw: Participants needed for Pilot Study in Hawaii and Montana

 

Hello, 

 

My name is Merry-Noel Chamberlain, and I am a doctoral student in
Transformational Leadership at Concordia University out of Portland, Oregon.
I am conducting an online PILOT study in Hawaii and Montana investigating
confidence levels in Orientation and Mobility (O&M), post O&M training.
This involves how often and how far people travel away from their home
environment after they have completed formal O&M training.  I am looking for
legally blind adults between the ages of 20 and 70 (including age 20 and age
70) who received training in Hawaii or Montana to participate in my study. 

 

This study consists of an online survey, which will take about a half an
hour to complete. In exchange for participation, participants will have the
opportunity to enter a raffle drawing for one of two $25 Visa gift card. All
responses will be anonymous and confidential.

Please forward this survey to interested individuals.

There are no risks to participating in this study other than the everyday
risk of being on your computer as you take this survey. For me, I will
receive the benefit of your answers which will help me understand your
travel experiences/habits after your formal O&M training. In turn, you could
benefit by reflecting on your own travel experiences/habits post your
instruction. 

 

All data is collected anonymously.  The data you provide will be held
privately within the on-line survey instrument. In the options section, if
you were to write additional comments that made it to where we predict that
someone could possibly deduce your identity, we would not include this
information in any publication or report. All data will be destroyed three
years after the study ends. 

At any time, you can discontinue answering the questions in this online
survey. 

Please print a copy of this for your records.  If you have questions you can
talk to or write the principal investigator, --------------------Merry-Noel

participant advocate other than the investigator, you can write or call the
director of our institutional review board, Dr. OraLee Branch (email

Thank you!
