<p class="MsoNormal">As many of you know, I am working with one of my colleagues on validating a new screening tool for dysphagia-related caregiver burden. We are currently in the first step of that process.<o:p></o:p></p>

<p class="MsoNormal">As such, we are seeking *any* caregiver to take a short (~10 minute) online survey. While we would love to have caregivers of individuals with dysphagia, we are also looking for caregivers of individuals without dysphagia. The only qualifications
are that these individuals provide care to a family member with whom they live and that the care recipients have some sort of medical diagnosis that prompts the need for care (care recipients can be any age and of any relationship to the caregiver).<o:p></o:p></p>

<p class="MsoNormal">It would be great if you could help spread the word about this study! I have attached two flyers below - one is more generic for caregivers in general and the other is dysphagia specific. You can also share the direct link for the survey:<span class="apple-converted-space"> </span><a href="http://tiny.cc/caregivers"><span style="color:purple">http://tiny.cc/caregivers</span></a><o:p></o:p></p>
