Participation consists of completing an anonymous, online survey–roughly 15 minutes in length–that will ask you to provide information about the language and specific terminology you might use when working with clients within voice evaluation or therapy. The study has been approved by the Weill Cornell Medicine Institutional Review Board (IRB).

We value your input and hope that you will share with those in your networks who may be eligible to participate. More details about the survey and the survey itself can be found at the link below.
