Research Title: Development and Evaluation of an Accessible Menopausal Health Education Program for Blind and Low-Vision Women

 

Being conducted by: University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign

 

Purpose of the Study

The purpose of this study is to develop and evaluate an accessible menopausal health education program designed for blind and low-vision (BLV) women. The program has been developed to support menopause-related symptom recognition and self-management for BLV women. Through this study, we aim to test whether the program can support the improvement of menopause-related knowledge and self-management and whether participants feel that the content is accessible and applicable to their daily lives, in addition to what works well and needs improvement.

 

Role of the Participants and Anticipated Length of the Study 

Participants will attend a single 60-minute virtual education session delivered via Zoom. During the session, they will learn about menopause, symptom recognition, overlapping symptoms related to blindness, and practical self-management strategies. Participants will complete a menopause knowledge questionnaire before and after the session, and a post-session survey about their experience with the program. The total time will take approximately 90 minutes.

 

Proposed Participant Compensation

Yes, Yes. Participants who attend the program and complete the pre- and post-test and surveys will receive a $20 Amazon gift card via email.
