Hello,
The National Federation of the Blind Jernigan Institute is partnering with the Sports and Recreation Division and WE Fit Wellness to conduct research regarding the barriers to exercise, nutrition, and access to medical equipment and services faced by individuals who are blind and low vision.  Amber Sherrard will be the principal investigator. She and her research team are in the process of recruiting participants for several focus groups that will be conducted over-the-phone.  There are currently six focus groups scheduled as follows;

*      March 27th at 10 am MST
*      March 27th at 6 pm MST

*      March 28th at 7 pm MST
*      March 29th at 10 am MST

Focus groups are an important part of this study, the data provided through these focus groups will play an important role in the improvement of health promotion programs and policies that affect people who are blind and low vision.  Participation is completely voluntary and confidential.
