[Ohio-Talk] Research

[Richard Payne]

Good morning,  
 
My name is Bhumi Patel, and I am a second-year medical student at Ohio
University Heritage College of Osteopathic Medicine looking for participants
for a study. We are conducting research on how low vision/blind individuals
with diabetes manage their disease. I would appreciate it if you could share
this recruitment message with your state's NFB email group. Please let me
know if you have any additional concerns/questions.  
 
IRB# 22-E-195  
 
Do you have diabetes and low vision or blindness?  
Insulin pens and pumps, continuous glucose monitoring systems, medications
and other diabetes treatments are available for diabetes management.
However, many of these devices were not designed for users with low vision
or blindness and have serious accessibility problems. We want to support
these users by learning more about how low vision/blind individuals manage
their diabetes.  
Are you interested in participating in this study?  
Participation in this research involves completing a survey about diabetes
management. Participation will last approximately 20 minutes. Participants
will receive a $10 tango gift card for their time and effort.  
How can you find out more?

The National Federation of the Blind knows that blindness is not the
characteristic that defines you or your future. Every day we raise the
expectations of blind people, because low expectations create obstacles
between blind people and our dreams. You can live the life you want;
blindness is not what holds you back.
