Survey for Women Aged 18 or Over Who are Legally Blind
You can contribute to breast cancer research at no cost, from your own home, in less than two hours!
Have you ever wanted to help valuable breast cancer and sleep research but don’t have a lot of time? Researchers at Brigham and Women’s Hospital and Harvard Medical School seek women aged 18 or over who are legally blind to participate in a nationwide survey that hopes to help identify risk factors associated with certain medical disorders, such as breast cancer and sleep problems. The results of the survey will help both blind and sighted women make more informed lifestyle choices. The survey is open to everyone, regardless of their health. You can register for and complete the survey in the convenience of your own home, using our rigorously tested Section 508 compliant website at www.bvihealthsurvey.bwh.harvard.edu. The website also includes a tutorial on completing web based forms, written by expert screen reader users.
The survey may also be completed in Braille, by audio tape, in large print or over the phone. If you would like more information or if you have questions please e-mail Erin at bvihealthsurvey@rics.bwh.harvard.edu or call 1-888-828-4294 (1-888-8BVIBWH).
