Seeking participants for an international study about stroke and dysarthria (unclear or slurred speech)

Dr Sarah Wallace and Dr Brooke-Mai Whelan (The University of Queensland) are working with the University of Manchester on a research about dysarthria after stroke.

Dysarthria is when speech is less clear, becomes slurred or sounds different, and this can happen after a stroke.

Our research aims to get agreement on a core outcome set for dysarthria after stroke (COS-Speech). This means we will agree with stroke survivors, researchers and speech and language therapists ‘what’ aspects of speech we should measure after stroke.

We are recruiting:

  • Stroke survivors who have or have experienced dysarthria since their stroke living in the UK and Australia.
  • Speech and language therapists/pathologists If you work with stroke survivors – from UK or Australia
  • Stroke survivors who have or have experienced dysarthria since their stroke – living in the UK and Australia.
  • Stroke researchers who have been involved or are involved in communication research -from the UK or Australia. 

You are invited to take part in an online survey which takes between 30-45 minutes to complete.
