Dear Evelyn

 

Thanks for accepting to take part in our study. Please let me know when is the best times for a 60 to 90 minute interview in this week or the following week. The study consent form is also attached for your reference. As discussed, please distribute the following message to anyone or group you feel they would be interested in our study.

 

Our collaborative research study team (at University of California Irvine and University of Maryland Baltimore County) is seeking participants for the study examining experiences of indoor navigation among individuals with disabilities or aged over 60 (UMBC IRB - Y19RK12016).  We are seeking to interview individuals who identify with both visual and physical disabilities to identify their experiences when navigating or planning routes.  The findings would help us better understand ways in which navigational technologies could be better designed to match the needs of a wider selection of users. The interviews would last 60 to 90 minutes, conducted over phone or Skype.  A small giftcard is also available for your participation. If you would be interested in participating, could you please contact Dr. Ravi Kuber at (rkuber at umbc.edu <mailto:rkuber at umbc.edu> ) or Ali Abdolrahmani (aliab1 at umbc.edu <mailto:aliab1 at umbc.edu> ).

 

Sincerely,
