A survey....
This survey looks at the many ways people with visible and/or less apparent disabilities have experienced disability prejudice and their reactions to prejudice and discrimination.
Anyone who self-identifies as a person who experiences disability and is at least 18 years of age or older can participate. The survey involves answering short open-ended questions about your specific experiences and responses to different types of disability prejudice. The survey should take about 30 minutes to complete.
The survey was approved by the Human Subjects Research Committee at Hiram College. All of your responses will be kept strictly confidential, and you will not provide your name on any part of the survey. In written reports of this research only anonymous responses will be included. You can choose to provide an (optional) e-mail address if you wish to be entered in a lottery for a 1 in 50 chance to win a $20 gift certificate to Amazon.com in appreciation for your time and participation. To enter the lottery, you will be asked to provide an email address. This email address will be stored separately from the survey data. However, participation in the lottery (via your email address) is not required to complete the survey.
If you choose to participate in the lottery, you may also create an anonymous, free email account at Gmail.com or Yahoo.com. Gmail.com’s privacy policy can be found here. Yahoo.com’s privacy policy can be found here.
This survey is being administered using a professional survey package called SurveyMonkey.com, which does NOT record your IP address and cannot personally identify you. Furthermore, to maintain confidentiality, access to your answers and email address (if you choose to provide one) will be password protected and stored separately from each other. SurveyMonkey is a secure service which hosts professional research surveys in compliance with traditional research standards of confidentiality.

Your participation is entirely voluntary. You may stop at any time and still be eligible to enter the lottery.
