<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Arial",sans-serif;color:black">Hello: My name is Tyler James, and I am an Assistant Professor in the Department of Family Medicine at the University of Michigan Medical School. Our team is conducting
a research project funded by the National Library of Medicine focused on improving access to health information for people with sensory disabilities. I am reaching out because you are listed as the primary contact for the National Library Service for the Blind
and Print Disabled.</span><o:p></o:p></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Arial",sans-serif;color:black">We are currently recruiting participants for a needs assessment survey to better understand the health information needs of adults who are blind, have low vision,
are deaf, or are hard-of-hearing. The insights gained from this survey will inform the development of best practices and resources to support these communities. This study has been reviewed and approved by the University of Michigan\u2019s ethics review board.</span><o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Arial",sans-serif;color:black"> </span><o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Arial",sans-serif;color:black">We would greatly appreciate your assistance in recruiting eligible participants. We are seeking adults (age 18 or older) with sensory disabilities to complete our
survey. Eligible participants who complete the survey will receive a $25 gift card (limited to the first 500 respondents who qualify). For your convenience, I have attached a Word document with an email template for outreach and an image that may be used for
in-library communications.</span><o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Arial",sans-serif;color:black"> </span><o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Arial",sans-serif;color:black">To protect the quality of our survey data, we kindly ask that you do not share the survey link publicly or on social media, but rather distribute it directly to interested
consumers or patrons. Some libraries have forwarded the recruitment email to patrons in newsletters or direct emails. </span><o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Arial",sans-serif;color:black"> </span><o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Arial",sans-serif;color:black">Thank you very much for your time and consideration. Please let me know if you have any questions or if we can provide additional information or support as you share
this opportunity.</span><o:p></o:p></p>
