It's a bit surprising that she has enough participants already, or is not searching still. I've done studies before, and it's always hard to find enough people, especially from a specific population. Ah well, I just want to amazon certificate, really haha.
Happy Saturday!

Please pardon the imposition. I am actively seeking participants with vision loss to take part in a research study for a graduate thesis. I was hoping you could share this information with members of the VISIONS community to see if anyone is interested. I would be happy to provide additional information to you or any members of VISIONS. We will not place any participants under undue stress, and they can withdraw from participation at any time.Thanks for your consideration. Details are listed below. Sincerely, Christine Fitts 917-971-2253 <mailto:cfittsy@xxxxxxxxx>cfittsy@xxxxxxxxx Here are some details:I am studying inclusive design in mobile devices. My research is focused on how museums developing mobile tours using iPods and cell phones can make them more accessible. We are looking for participants with vision loss who are avid cell phone users. They will be asked to record each time they use their cell phone to access the Internet, send an email or use an application over a one- week period. They will NOT have to record phone calls or text messages, and will not be asked to record during work hours. Participants will be reimbursed $50 for participating with the opportunity to earn an additional $1/diary entry (up to $50) - all paid in an Amazon.com gift card. We are looking for participants who can answer "yes" to each of the following:- I am 21 years of age or older - I am living with a disability- I use my cell phone to go online or use applications (email, podcasts,etc.) on a regular basis - I use assistive technologies on my cell phone- I can start the study any day between November 11 and November 25 (and participate for one week).If you are interested, please contact Christine Fitts at <mailto:cfittsy@xxxxxxxxx>cfittsy@xxxxxxxxx or 917-971-2253.
