Research Investigating the Utility of Self-Disclosure: Seeking Participants

Research Investigating the Utility of Self-Disclosure: Seeking Participants Hello everyone! My name is Megan Young and I am a doctoral student studying with Dr. Courtney Byrd at the University of Texas at Austin. We launched a study in May 2020 that was approved by the National Stuttering Association investigating the utility of disclosing stuttering to others from the perspective of adults who stutter. We would greatly appreciate it if you could take the time to complete our survey. Our hope is that by amplifying the voices of people who stutter in the research literature, we will improve upon evidence-based practice for people who stutter in speech-language pathology. Survey link: [https://utexas.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV\_e2tE6WoBT1uyEGF](https://utexas.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_e2tE6WoBT1uyEGF) We are currently seeking individuals 18 years of age or older who stutter to participate in this study by completing an online survey. We expect participation to take approximately 15-20 minutes of your time. This study has been processed by the Office of Research Support and the study number is 2015-05-0044. The risks of participating in this study are minimal and no greater than in everyday life. There will be no costs for participating, nor will you be compensated for your participation. Although there are no anticipated direct benefits to you, your participation will advance our knowledge of best treatment practices for individuals who stutter. Please feel free to share and discuss any questions or experiences relating to self-disclosure. I will gladly answer any questions you may have from my perspective as a speech-language pathologist and researcher specializing in the area of stuttering. Thank you very much!
