A team of University of Ottawa researchers are undertaking a study to determine the impact of virtual care in the context of the COVID-19 pandemic on speech-language pathology services for children (ages 0-12) in Canada. The ethical aspects of this project have been approved by the University of Ottawa Research Ethics Board. Individuals who currently practice in Canada and work with the preschool and/or school age population (0-12 years of age) in any clinical setting and in any language are eligible to take part in this survey.
We invite you to participate in this project—if you accept, you will be asked to complete a survey questioning your thoughts and experiences on the delivery of virtual speech pathology care during the COVID-19 pandemic. The survey is anticipated to take 20-30 minutes to complete. Your participation in this project is entirely voluntary and not work-related. Your work organization is not affiliated with this research project and will not know who has agreed to participate.
If you are interested in participating, please find the consent letter and survey here.
If you have any questions about this study, please contact Allyson Cousineau Grant at agran3@uottawa.ca or Dr. Elizabeth Fitzpatrick at elizabeth.fitzpatrick@uottawa.ca.
