Ventilator User Survey

Invitation to Participate

We are researchers and certified speech-language pathologists in the Department of Speech and Hearing Sciences at the University of Arizona. We are conducting a survey with ventilator users regarding speech and communication. It is our ultimate hope to use the feedback from these surveys to improve communication in people who use ventilators. The survey will provide us with insights into communication difficulties experienced by ventilator users, suggestions for how overall communication could be improved, and possible future research needs in this area. The results and recommendations from the survey should benefit ventilator users as well as those who live and work with such individuals.
