The survey was made accessible in a variety of ways.
The survey was interpreted into American Sign Language. Deaf participants could either respond in written English or record video answers in American Sign Language.
The survey was available in Spanish and English, both in written and audio versions. Participants could respond in writing or upload audio answers in Spanish or English.
We limited the use of open-ended questions to one or two in each survey. Participants had the option of sharing their experiences in a more detailed open-ended question by selecting the optional “Your Story” section of the survey.
By entering in their email, participants had the option of saving their progress to take breaks whenever they wanted. Emails were not linked to respondents’ survey answers.
The survey was housed on its own website that was built to ensure the greatest amount of accessibility and data security.
