Share your experiences of stammering by completing an online survey, and help research into the area.
The Spartan Stuttering Laboratory at Michigan State University and the Life Impact of Speech and Stuttering Lab at Duquesne University invite you to take part in their research project. They're looking to learn more about the experiences of people who stammer and have created a survey for you to fill in.
Background & purpose
J. Scott Yaruss and Seth Tichenor say, "The purpose of our research is to learn about what people who stammer experience. Research in this area has historically been mostly from the listener's viewpoint. We want to know more about your viewpoint as a speaker and explore patterns that help explain individual differences across people who stammer".
What it involves
If you would like to take part, there are several online surveys to complete. Each one takes between 5 and 15 minutes. They are made up of questions asking you to rate different aspects of your stammering experiences on a scale, as well as a few multiple choice and open-ended questions.
One of the surveys is a study on your experience of variability of stammering. Another is about understanding how resilience plays a role in peoples' lives. The researchers are regularly putting up new surveys and studies to expand our understanding of the lives of people who stammer.

The Spartan Stuttering Laboratory wants to reach as many people who stammer as possible, so please share it with anybody else you think might want to take part.
