“…This is the first such study in stuttering, and indeed to our knowledge in speech-language pathology, but the present WTP results can be reasonably compared with the results of a recent cost of illness (COI; Blumgart et al, 2010) study of stuttering. COI studies are not designed to include the impact of a condition on lifestyle changes, embarrassment, avoidance behavior, worry, or distress.…”

“…However, there is no consensus in the literature on the relationship between stuttering severity and its impact on quality of life. Some authors believe that the higher the severity, the greater the impact on quality of life (14) , whereas others found contradictory data (2,15,16) . Thus, the objectives of this study were to investigate the behavioral and social competency profiles of individuals who stutter and to compare them with persons who do not stutter, according to their parents; to correlate the behavioral performance and social competence and the severity of stuttering.…”

PURPOSE: To investigate the behavioral and social competency profiles of individuals who stutter and to compare them with persons who do not stutter, according to their parents; to correlate the behavioral and the social competence performances with the severity of stuttering. METHODS: Sixty-four participants, aged 6 to 18 years, of both genders, were divided into two groups: the study group (SG), composed of 32 individuals with persistent developmental stuttering, and the control group (CG), composed of 32 fluent individuals. The procedures used were fluency assessment, stuttering severity instrument, and the Child Behavior Checklist inventory. RESULTS: In the behavioral profile of the SG, the mean of the total score and that of the internalizing problems were classified as clinical. The comparison between the groups showed differences in the behavioral profile concerning the total score, and in the internalizing and externalizing problems; and in the social profile, concerning the total score and activity scale. There were no statistically significant differences in the scales among the mild, moderate, and severe stuttering. CONCLUSION: According to the information provided by parents, children who stutter showed peculiar behavior and social competence, with a higher tendency to manifest alterations in this area, in comparison to those who do not stutter. Fear, nervousness/tension, guilt, anxiety, perfectionism, and worry were the most frequent alterations in relation to the behavior, whereas damages in the social field and in the habitual communication situations characterized the social competence of persons who stutter.

“…It is known that stuttering can result in challenges to wellbeing and mental health , with significant social and financial consequences (Blumgart, Tran, & Craig, 2010b;Iverach & Rapee, 2014). The research reported in this paper showed that negative mood states remained significantly elevated across a period of five months in the adults who stutter compared to community norms (Derogatis, 1994).…”
