Dear List Members;<br>
<br>
The below research participant solicitation is being provided for
informational purposes only. The National Federation of the Blind has no
involvement in this research, but we believe that it may contribute to
our research mission.<br>
<br>
My name is Sandra Bullins and I am a Doctoral candidate at the University
of Arkansas-Fayetteville and I am also blind. I am conducting a research
study to investigate the relationship between spirituality and coping
responses in individuals who have a visual impairment. I am asking
permission to recruit participants from your organization for the study.
If you could please forward this email to your current members, this
would help me out a great deal…and I would greatly appreciate it!<br>
All guidelines and standards for conducting this research have been
approved by the Institutional Review Board (IRB) at the University of
Arkansas-Fayetteville. The ethical standards set forth by the American
Counseling Association (ACA) and the ethical standards of the Counsel on
Rehabilitation Counselor Certification (CRCC) will be adhered to.<br>
All data collected will remain confidential to the extent allowed by law
and University policy. No personal identifiable information will be
collected and participants will remain anonymous. I have provided a
secured link to the survey below and the IRB approval number. I
thank you for your time and consideration in this.<br>
