You are invited to participate in a 15 question research project documenting the current knowledge of how the pollution in the five counties with the most deteriorated air quality is perceived to affect voice disorders found here.
This applied dissertation was designed to examine the relationships between the severities of symptoms of laryngeal disturbances involving the oropharynx in a geographic environment in order to classify and compare them to the air quality scales. Research by the Air Resources Board of the total respiratory system between the sinuses and the lungs has been absent in vocal function research evaluating the impact of pollutants on the oropharynx and larynx. Voice disorders reported in the seven counties may show predictable rates based upon the seasonal pollution rates. This study is intended to raise awareness regarding the main vocal function diagnoses, symptomology data, environmental factors, and geospatial relationships inhibiting voice therapy progress near the San Joaquin Valley Air Pollution Control District (SJVAPCD) monitor sites.
For this study, we are asking Ear, Nose, and Throat (ENT) physicians, or the staff from these offices (RN, LVN), Speech Pathologists, and Radiation-Oncology physicians and nurses working with patients in the seven counties of the SJVAPCD to answer 15 questions relating to air pollution and voice disorders. Participation is anonymous and voluntary. Any publications arising from this survey will not highlight individual responses; rather a summary will be generated according to the air quality district segmentation and mapped in a geographic information system searchable database. If you would like to participate in this study, and meet the following criteria:
• ASHA Certified Speech Pathologist, ENT physician, Radiation-Oncology Physician, or nursing support staff in these settings
• Your practice resides in the San Joaquin Valley Air Pollution Control District (SJVAPCD) of Stanislaus, Merced, Fresno, Madera, San Joaquin, Kings, and Kern in California
• You are concerned that the present research in the field of air quality lacks information regarding the physiology between the sinuses and the lungs has been absent in vocal function research in the Air Research Board of California
The link to the online survey is available below. Please read this attached participation letter. The 15 questions will take about 5 minutes to answer. Please understand that even though you may not benefit directly from this study, you have the opportunity to enhance the understanding of the effects of our environment on the health and well-being of many California residents.
Participation is completely voluntary and no payment will be provided. If you have any questions please feel free to contact me at vocalfunctionairpollution@gmail.com
