Accessibility and usability barriers 

The following information is provided to help people with disabilities know what potential barriers may exist.

Unlabeled and visually hidden elements may cause barriers for screen reader users

Throughout the surveys, there are elements that are hidden visually but are still accessible via screen reader, which could cause confusion for sighted screen reader users. Additionally, some of these elements are unlabeled and their purpose is unclear. 

Loss of visual indication of keyboard focus may cause barriers 

The visual indication of keyboard focus on elements on the screen is occasionally lost throughout the surveys. Similarly, a user can sometimes place focus behind an open popup or menu and the menu remains open. These barriers can make it difficult for a user to track where they are on the screen.
