u/justaregularguy044 u/hremmingar u/Sa8th I am really sorry that this study is restricted to people living in the United States and Canada. I certainly value your opinions and also understand that a global perspective on stuttering is important. The reason why it is restricted to those living in Canada and the United States is because the stigma associated with stuttering has been shown to vary geographically. For this initial study, we are trying to control for that variability by limiting the geographical area. In the future, I hope that we can broaden it to include experiences from people who stutter around the world. If you have any insights about disclosing stuttering that you would like to share, I would still love to hear them. You can contact me at hope.gerlach@wmich.edu Again, I apologize for the restrictions on this specific study. It is certainly my hope to broaden the geographical area in the future. Take care, Hope
