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.



Hello,



My name is J’den Williams, a doctoral student studying in the Wilson College 
of Textiles at North Carolina State University. I enjoy improving online 
shopping experiences for all customers and over the summer I realized that I 
wanted to help shoppers with total blindness have a better online purchasing 
experience. I’m currently doing research on this topic and would like to 
invite you to participate.



To participate in this study, you must be 18 years old or older, live in the 
United States, identify as a person with total blindness, have shopped for 
one or more clothing items online in the past 12 months, and agree to have 
an audio recorded conversation with me.



If you choose to participate, you will do a 30-45 minute personal Zoom 
interview where I will ask you questions about yourself and your previous 
online shopping experiences. This conversation will be audio recorded for 
research purposes so that I make sure that I catch everything you say. Only 
I will listen to the recording and once it’s transcribed, you will be sent 
your interview documents via North Carolina State’s Google Drive for your 
review. Once you inform me that you have read through your interview 
documents and deem them appropriate, I will securely delete the recording.



After you deem your interview documents appropriate you will receive a $25 
Amazon E-Gift Card to your email address.



This research is minimal risk and there is no benefit to you if you 
participate, though I hope that the information that is shared with me will 
help others learn how create a better online shopping experience for 
individuals with total blindness.



If you want to participate in this research, please

access the consent form online and to let me know your interview 
availability.



If you do not want to participate in this research, but know someone who 
might want to, please feel free to forward them this email.



If you have questions about this research, you can contact me at 
<mailto:jbwilli9 at ncsu.edu> jbwilli9 at ncsu.edu. You can also contact my 
faculty advisor, Dr. Lori Rothenberg, at  <mailto:lfrothen at ncsu.edu>

Thank you,

J’den Williams
