Researchers at Michigan State University (J. Scott Yaruss) and Duquesne University (Seth E. Tichenor) are studying the impact of stuttering on people’s lives. They are currently conducting an evaluation of a widely used assessment of the experience of stuttering, known as the Overall Assessment of the Speaker's Experience of Stuttering, or OASES. You can find more information about their work at https://stutteringlab.msu.edu.
The purpose of this study is to learn about what people who stutter experience. Research in this area has historically been considered mostly from the listener’s viewpoint. We want to know more about your viewpoint as a speaker. The survey takes approximately 15 minutes to complete. You may have completed the OASES previously, but the researchers are hoping that will complete it again, so that they can evaluate whether specific items in the test are valuable for reflecting the experience of stuttering.
WHAT YOU WILL DO
You will be asked to provide answers to survey questions about your experiences related to repetitive thoughts. Your participation in this study will require about 10-15 minutes.
POTENTIAL BENEFITS
Though you will not directly benefit from your participation in this study, your participation will help clinicians, researchers, and other people who stutter better understand the experience of stuttering.
POTENTIAL RISKS
There are minimal foreseeable risks associated with participation in this survey.
The primary risk is a breach of confidentiality. We will take every precaution to guard your privacy by ensuring that your personal information (in this case, your email address) will not be released publicly or shared with anyone.
The other possible risk is that some of the questions may cause you to feel uncomfortable. You will not be required to answer any question that you do not wish to answer.
