class="h4">Methods
The project started in March 2004. It aims to develop a random sample of 1000 registered visually impaired people (with weighted stratification for age). The process of recruitment is underway. The recruited participants will be surveyed for their needs, circumstances and opinions on a number of topics. The intention is that this survey will build upon work carried out by the RNIB, except in this case the sample will be maintained with the aim of collecting longitudinal data. The year 1 survey is designed to collect general demographic information, including that related to their self-reported level of vision, health, and access to services. Uniquely, there are also a series of questions related to the broad areas of employment, ILS, ICT, leisure, travel and transport, and education. Through these questions participants will comment about their participation in society and any barriers to this participation. The results of the year 1 ‘generative questions’ will enable priorities for future questions to be set.

The data is in the process of being collected and this poster presentation will give an opportunity to share early findings of this large scale ongoing survey.
