Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis of Behavioral Stuttering Treatment
Carl Herder, Courtney Howard, Chad
A systematic review and meta-analysis was conducted for studies using randomized experimental designs to study the effects of treatment for people who stutter. A total of 375 citations were identified for potential inclusion using hand and electronic search strategies. Of the 12 included studies, six studies reported outcomes for treated vs. non-treated participants yielding a significant Hedges g effect size of 0.91. Seven studies compared two different treatments and yielded a non-significant Hedges g effect size of 0.21. Additional data will be presented for participant, treatment, and design characteristics.
