Subject: Blind and low-vision adults needed for research study on
accessible technologies for data privacy

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.

Participants Needed for Research Study

If you are an individual who is blind or with low vision, researchers at
Carnegie Mellon University (Pittsburgh, PA, US) invite you to participate
in a remote interview study. Your participation will help us design and
develop accessible technology for data privacy.

We are looking for participants:

   1. Who are blind or with low vision.
   2. Who are at least 18 years of age and reside in the US.
   3. Who are willing to participate in an approximately 1.5-hour-long,
   audio recorded, remote interview.

Participation in this study is voluntary. Each participant will receive a
$25 electronic gift card of their choice via email after completing the
remote interview study.

Zoom (https://zoom.us/) is the primary communication tool for the remote
interview, but we will try our best to accommodate participants if they
prefer another communication tool, including telephone.

We particularly welcome diverse perspectives from individuals who are less
familiar with technology and who also belong to other underrepresented
groups.



If you are interested in participating, please send an email inquiry to
accessibledataprivacy at andrew.cmu.edu.



If you have questions about the study, please contact Dr. Yuanyuan Feng at <
yuanyuanfeng at cmu.edu> or 267-312-3760.
