*Research Participation Request: Workforce Engagement: A Survey of
Employment Barriers, Motivators, and Outcomes of Working Age Americans with
Legal Blindness*

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.



*Research Title: Workforce Engagement: A Survey of Employment Barriers,
Motivators, and Outcomes of Working Age Americans with Legal Blindness*Being
conducted by: The Envision Research Institute

*Purpose of the Study*The purpose of this research is to identify key
barriers and enablers to labor force participation   for working age adults
with legal blindness. We hope to learn from participants how they perceive
the significance of various deterrents and motivators for pursuing
employment while having vision loss.




*  Role of the Participants and Anticipated Length of the Study *Participants
will complete a survey questionnaire either independently or with
assistance.

Those choosing the independent option will receive step-by-step instruction
to visit an online survey form and respond to objective-type questions on
disability/accessibility, education/employment background, and perspective
on workforce participation.

Those opting for assistance will virtually meet a member of the research
team and verbally respond to the same survey questions.

Estimated time to complete the survey is 30 minutes. However actual time
spent may depend on individual circumstances.

Call for Research Volunteers

1.        Are you an adult under 65 years of age?

2.        Do you have a vision impairment that qualifies as legal blindness?

3.        Do you presently reside in the U.S?

If you answered YES to these 3 questions, we invite you to participate in
research on employment-related decisions and outcomes of Americans with
vision loss.

We are an interdisciplinary team of researchers affiliated with the
Envision Research Institute and the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee that
is investigating how to enhance the labor force participation of
working-age, legally blind Americans. Over 56% working-age Americans living
with vision loss are out of the labor force. However, why so many of them
choose not to participate in the labor force is still a conundrum. To
address this knowledge gap, we are conducting a nationwide survey of
working-age, legally blind adults about the deterrence, motivations, and
outcomes of labor force participation. Findings of the survey will guide
the development of research strategies, best practices, and programs to
make the labor market more attractive and inclusive of Americans with
vision loss.

What does participation involve?

Complete an online questionnaire (containing a series of objective-type
questions) independently or with assistance. Those opting to complete
independently will receive step-by-step instructions. Those opting for
assistance will be interviewed by a member of the research team.

How much time is needed to complete the survey?

Between 30 to 45 minutes. Actual time spent may vary depending on
individual circumstances.

What are the risks and benefits?

There is no major risk or direct benefit for participating in the survey.
Participant feedback will contribute towards enhanced labor force
participation of working age adults with vision loss. Anyone completing the
survey will have the option to enter their name into a raffle drawing to
win prizes.

I’m interested. What should I do?
