Formal studies don\'t cover disability access adequately, use experts too
where it says in 2.1 Document the status quo:
The Working Group will catalog existing presentation of security
information and corresponding user interpretations reported in user
studies.
please consider
You can\'t limit the user interpretations that you integrate into your data to
formal studies. Formal studies are often not available that cover people with
disability-adapted delivery contexts. You need to open the gates to allow for
the advice of experts and some anecdotal experience from users in building
this reference base of experience.
Why?
Most studies that attempt to test for statistical significance don\'t have the
numbers of people with ability diversity to control for that or even let the
experience of people with disabilities count much. So weaker forms of
evidence than formal studies have to be relied on
