Are you interested in being interviewed for a study involving your swallowing, eating, and mealtime experiences? The NYU Swallowing Research Lab is seeking the input of individuals with dysphagia to participate in brief (15 minute) phone interviews about how you experience swallowing and mealtimes, and how this experience may have changed over the course of your life. If you choose to participate, the information you provide will be used to help develop questions for a survey on the same topic. If you are interested, please reach out to Danielle Brates at [email protected] affirming your interest, a phone number where we can reach you, and your availability for the 15 minute phone call.
