<u>Eligibility<br><br>
</u> <br><br>
The survey is intended for individuals who are (a) 18-years old or older,
(b) blind or visually-impaired, and (c) who have visited one or more
museums in the past.<br><br>
<br><br>
<u>Possible Benefits<br><br>

visually-impaired persons in museums.<br><br>
<br>
<u>Risks and Discomforts<br><br>

uncomfortable or that you would prefer to skip, please leave the answer
blank.<br><br>
<u>Protection of Privacy and Confidentiality<br><br>
</u>The survey is designed so that your responses are anonymous. However,
for this research project, the researchers are requesting demographic
information. Due to the make-up of the population of blind and
visually-impaired persons in certain areas, the combined answers to these
questions may make a person identifiable. The researchers will make every
effort to protect your confidentiality. However, if you are uncomfortable
answering any of these questions, you should skip them.<br><br>
