Journal Club: stammering in adults research

Interested in what's going in the world of stammering research? Join this online event and find out more.

The STAMMA Journal Club aims to help people learn more about current research into stammering. 

At each online session, we take a close look at research articles to explore their results and what they could mean for people who stammer. Come along and listen as we take you through the article. You'll get a chance to ask questions if you want to.

Stammering in adults

At the next session on Monday 18th November at 7:30pm, we'll be looking at a paper on 'Adult Stuttering Prevalence' by Max Gattie, Elena Lieven and Karolina Kluk. It has findings on how many adults stammer, how many are overt and covert with their stammers, and how many interact with the stammering community. You can read the paper at sciencedirect.com if you'd like to get familiar with it before the session (this isn't mandatory).

Help needed

Would you like to get more involved in the journal club? We're looking for a student who is interested in stammering research to:

• help us choose a research article to read in future sessions
• write a short plain English summary of the article to make it accessible for people without a research background
• help us run the session if needed, eg leading a breakout room
• write up notes from the session.

You might be a speech & language therapy student, a PhD student researching stammering, or even a student with a stammer yourself. By getting involved, you can help make research about stammering accessible for everyone and support the stammering community. If you are interested, email c.wiltshire@bangor.ac.uk 

Are you a researcher?

We are always looking for new research studies for people who stammer to read at our journal club. If you have a peer reviewed research article that you would be happy for us to share with journal club members, please send us a copy at catherine.woolley@stamma.org
