Accessibility Barriers Survey – Wheelchair Users

STUDY BASICS

Do you use a wheelchair or scooter as your primary means of mobility? Can you transfer to and from your mobility device by yourself? If so, you can participate in a research study that involves taking an online survey. Researchers want to know how different areas of the community help or hinder the needs of wheeled mobility device users.

STUDY PURPOSE
