Journal Club: Stammering in Women

Join us for this online event, where we'll be discussing research into stammering in women. 

The STAMMA Journal Club aims to help people who stammer learn more about current research into stammering and help make it accessible for everyone.

At each online session, we take a closer look at research articles and 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.

For this session we're looking at stammering in women and we'll be talking about the following article:

The Impact of Stuttering on Development of Self-Identity, Relationships, and Quality of Life in Women Who Stutter in the American Journal of Speech-Language Pathology.

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 us at 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
