The University of Southampton is doing research on how to best design apps that help disabled people plan and make their everyday journeys.

If you are 18 or over and have one or more of the impairments listed below, or any other condition that affects your ability to use public transport or active travel (e.g., walking, cycling, wheeling) we would like to invite you to complete an anonymous questionnaire:

·      Mobility

·      Blind / visually impaired

·      Chronic illness / long-term health condition

·      Deaf / hard of hearing

·      Neurodivergent

·      Learning disability

·      Mental health condition

We will be asking about how to design phone or internet apps that could make it easier for you to make the journeys you choose. The questionnaire will take around 15 minutes to complete and a link will be included in the comments below.

If you choose to, you can be entered into a prize draw to win one of twenty £50 prizes. We will need your email address to enter you into the prize draw, but that won’t be linked in any way to your survey response.

If you would prefer to complete the questionnaire on paper, receive an EasyReader or BSL version, or have assistance completing the questionnaire, please email me at r.mcilroy@soton.ac.uk.

The study has been approved by the University’s research ethics team (ID 114554)

Thanks in advance
