U of A Employees Invited to Complete Research Survey About Computer Workstation and Vision – University of Arkansas Newswire
The Biomechanics and Ergonomics Lab at the U of A is recruiting U of A employees who use a computer for more than 50 percent of their working day to complete a survey about their computer workstation and vision.
For our purposes, a university employee can be faculty, staff, administrator, graduate assistant or hourly worker. You must also be at least 18 years old to participate.
We welcome both office and remote workers to take this study.
In this survey, you'll be asked about your current vision status (such as if you wear glasses when at the computer and the quality of your vision), your current computer workstation and some information about yourself. The survey should take 15-20 minutes to complete, and if desired, you'll be entered into a draw for one of four $40 Amazon gift cards.
If you are interested, please go to the survey.

This study is conducted under the direction of Kaitlin Gallagher, Ph.D. (kmg014@uark.edu). The U of A Institutional Review Board (IRB) for human subjects in research approved this protocol.
