My name is Courtney West, and I am a graduate student in the Speech-Language Pathology program at the University of Arkansas for Medical Sciences. I am conducting an online research study with Dr. Portia Carr. We need participants who have language difficulties (i.e., aphasia) following a stroke to
fill out an anonymous online survey. If you have post-stroke aphasia or you are a caregiver of a person with post-stroke aphasia, you can take the survey. We have attached a flyer that contains more detailed information. Please feel free to share this email or the attached flyer with anyone who might be interested. The purpose of the study is to examine the Perceived Barriers and Unmet Needs of
Persons with Aphasia (PWA) and Caregivers Along the Continuum of Care The online
survey should take 10-15 minutes to complete.
Persons with aphasia
You (or someone you know) will qualify IF the answer is “YES” to ALL of the following
questions:
(1) Have you had a stroke?
(2) Are you an adult (18 years or older)?
(3) Do you speak English?
(4) Do you have trouble communicating since your stroke?
[Examples include decreased ability to: (a) find words; (b) speak in sentences; (c)
understanding speech; (d) read and write].
Caregivers
