Experience Survey - Alarm Technologies for the Deaf and Hard of Hearing Population

You are invited to participate in a research study conducted by Lund University for the Fire Protection Research Foundation, NFPA’s research arm, where the objective is to review available fire alarm technologies for people who are deaf or hard of hearing. You can read more about the overall project from this project summary document.
 
This questionnaire has been created as part of this research study to gain insight from you, and others you may know, regarding fire alarm technologies that may be utilized for people who are deaf or hard of hearing. We are specifically interested in experiences you have had with particular technologies, as well as characteristics or function of these technologies that you deem the most important. 

Your participation in this research survey is voluntary. You may skip any questions that make you feel uncomfortable and can stop the survey at any time. The information you provide through this survey will be anonymous. This means that your name will not be collected or linked to the data in any way. The researchers will not be able to remove your data from the dataset once your participation is complete. 

The anonymized and compiled results of this survey will be used in the final reports, but the researchers will not identify you or your organization.

If you agree to participate in this study, please click "ok" below and proceed to an internet-based survey about the use of fire alarm technologies.  It is estimated that the survey will take approximately 7 minutes to complete.

We ask that you please complete this survey by July 31st, 2021.
