Abstract

Objective: To propose and validate the content of a screening protocol for identifying speech, language and hearing manifestations in leprosy. Methods: This study was organized into two phases: bibliographic research to support the development of the screening instrument and subsequent evaluation of the adequacy of the content by a panel of experts. The relevance/representativeness of the responses was evaluated using the Content Validity Index (CVI) with a minimum agreement of 90%. Results: The reading of the material resulted in the development of an instrument with 18 items covering four sections: audiology, voice, swallowing and speech/orofacial motricity. The next phase consisted of the analysis of the representativeness of the protocol items by the judges. After the first analysis, the content validation resulted in ten items with CVI of 100%. Conclusion: The screening protocol was considered a valid instrument for the identification of speech, language and hearing manifestations in leprosy.
