Hello, 

I have the same question here. Who do I contact. 

If I read the instructions carefully it says to answer the questions they want me to answer, but where do I send them? to the person forwarding? To Washington State? 

Thanks!

: AURC: New paid study opportunity for Washington residents

Good morning Jacob,

Happy New Year! I hope you have had a great start to 2024! Here’s to another great year of strides in accessibility.

I’m reaching out to you today because we have another study opportunity coming up that you may be eligible for. Please read the flyer pasted below in its full entirety. If you are eligible and interested, please answer the following questions:

1.	Are you available to attend a 90-minute virtual interview during the week of January 29th?
2.	What assistive technology or accessibility settings do you use to access the internet? If you use a screen reader, what type?
3.	Have you ever used a SecureAccess Washington (SAW) account? (This is not required to be eligible for this study.)

Thanks and have a wonderful day!

Delaney

Flyer:

Are you blind, color blind, or have low vision? Do you live in the State of Washington?

We are seeking Washington residents to participate in an upcoming study!

The Accessibility User Research Collective (AURC) would like to invite people with blindness or low vision to be a part of a usability study being conducted for the State of Washington. 

In this study, participants will be asked about their assistive technology use and accessibility needs. The government of Washington would like to learn more about its online portal, SecureAccess Washington (SAW). The overall purpose of the study is to gather data that can be used to improve the usability and accessibility of this portal for people with blindness or low vision. 

To be eligible you must: 

1.	Identify as blind, colorblind, or low vision
2.	Live in Washington state
3.	Use at least one of the following:

1.	Screen reader (JAWS or VoiceOver ONLY)
2.	Screen magnification
3.	Customized fonts and/or screen contrast settings

4.	Have a desktop or laptop computer and reliable internet connection
5.	Be available to attend a virtual interview during the week of January 29th 
6.	Prefer using English primarily for reading, writing, speaking
7.	Be 18 years old or older
8.	Be a member of the Accessibility User Research Collective (AURC)

Participants will be asked to complete a short online screener survey regarding their accessibility needs and experience with SAW (none is required for this study). They will then be asked to participate in an online interview over Zoom in which they will complete tasks with SAW while sharing their screen. These 90-minute interviews will be held during the week of January 29th, 2024. Study participation should take no more than 100 minutes in total and will be conducted via an online survey platform, Survey Monkey, and Zoom. Following study completion each participant will receive a $125 stipend for their time and effort.
