The UW–Madison People & Robots Laboratory is looking for adults with Intellectual and Developmental Disabilities (IDD) to participate in a paid study about how people interact with security and privacy notifications. These notifications include examples like spam email warnings, unsecure website alerts, and cookie prompts on websites. During the study, you will interact with different types of notifications within three tasks, and we will ask you questions about your experience, including what you found helpful or confusing and any suggestions for improving these tools. To be eligible for this study, you must satisfy the following criteria:

  • You have IDD.
  • You are 18 years old or older.
  • You live in the USA.
  • You can communicate feedback on your experience verbally or through other means, such as an AAC device.
  • You are able to participate in one 1-hour session.

Location: UW-Madison Computer Sciences department; however, we are open to discussing other options.

Expected Duration: 1 hour

Payment: $20/hour

Project PI: Dr. Bilge Mutlu (bmutlu@wisc.edu) and Dr. Rahul Chatterjee (rchatterjee4@wisc.edu)

Optional: Additional support individuals are welcome to join.

If you are interested in participating, please scan the QR code on the flyer I've attached or go to the following link: https://forms.gle/oNaByMP5KgVhKmcZ9

If that does not work for you, please email hljohnson22@wisc.edu to schedule a time to meet or ask any questions you may have.

Our first meeting will be an online video call to ask you questions to ensure you are eligible for the study, complete informed consent, and schedule the in-person session.
