Greetings CBCS colleagues,

I am a professor in the Department of Child and Family Studies and I conducting a survey of factors that might contribute to exercise or might impede exercise. We are looking for participants who exercise regularly and participants who do not exercise.

I am sharing the flyer with you in the hope that you will consider taking the survey. The survey takes 5 to 10 minutes (closer to 5). Thanks for considering taking the survey - it is anonymous, and your participation is totally voluntary.

You can also access the survey with this link. https://gvsu.co1.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_6RIDLD99WkeQZCu

If interested, please post the flyer on your social media or share with friends/family.

Thanks much.
Raymond G. Miltenberger, PhD, BCBA-D

listen up it's national audiology awareness month

Audiology Awareness focuses on promoting public awareness of the importance of good hearing and balance health for all ages. The National Institutes of Health's National Institute on Deafness and Other Communication Disorders states that approximately 28.8 million Americans could benefit from the use of hearing aids. While age is often cited as a factor, there are growing numbers of younger people reporting hearing difficulties. There is also a link between untreated hearing loss and falls. According to a study conducted by Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine, an increase in hearing loss in an individual, for instance going from normal hearing to an untreated mild hearing loss, is associated with a 3-fold increase in fall risk.

To promote hearing and balance healthcare in accordance with Audiology Awareness, USF Hearing Clinic (located within the Department of Communication Sciences and Disorders) will be offering hearing and balance screenings to ALL USF faculty, students, and staff during the month of October. Screenings will take place on Wednesdays and Thursdays from 9:30 am - 12:00 pm and from 1:30 pm – 4:00 pm in the PCD Building. Anyone interested in participating in a hearing and balance screening should contact the USF Hearing Clinic at hearingclinic@usf.edu for further details. Audiologists and Audiology students will be conducting the screenings and following CDC guidelines for COVID prevention.

Happy Hearing and Balance to all USF Bulls!
