On Wednesday, May 12th, the CSD Speech-Language Clinic was presented with a portable info-loop by the Carol Cornelius Memorial and the Tampa Gem Sertoma Club. Carol Cornelius (pictured right) was an active member of the Tampa Gem Sertoma Club which focuses its volunteering efforts on improving the quality of life for those at risk or impacted by hearing loss. This info-loop was generously gifted to CSD as part of Sertoma's 2021 National Service Project promoting further hearing access. Info-loops are an assistive listening system that is compatible with technology inside hearing aids and cochlear implants. CSD will be able to utilize this portable loop for individual and group speech therapy sessions and as an additional resource for any of our CSD students or faculty that have hearing loss and need greater accessibility during meetings and group events.
Dr. Jerome Galea, Assistant Professor of School of Social Work, is collaborating with researchers at UC-Riverside, UNC, and the HIV+Aging Research Project-Palm Springs to conduct a two-year study entitled "Evaluating the impact of incentives on clinical trial participation". Guided by an External Advisory Board (EAB) comprised of 10 men and women who are key stakeholders in HIV research (either living with HIV, an HIV researcher, or an IRB member/bioethicist) from Palm Springs, CA, Los Angeles, CA, and Tampa, FL, the project will first characterize how key stakeholders view and assess incentives using formative mixed methods. Next, the research team will reach consensus among stakeholders on the factors to be considered when choosing incentives and their relative importance. The EAB will help develop a pilot test using vignettes for incentive decision making. MSW student Karah Greene is the Graduate Assistant student coordinator for this multi-site project.
