The PhD will entail an empirical study of the social, emotional, and behavioural well-being of children who stammer. Specifically, the study will involve designing and conducting a survey to document social, emotional and mental health profiles of children aged between 8 and 13 years old with a history of stammering. Experimental measures of emotion regulation, language and cognitive function will also be obtained from a smaller, more intensively sampled sub-group. The purpose of the project will be (1) To establish the prevalence and developmental profiles of social, emotional, and mental health profiles of a large sample of children aged 8-13 years of age with a history of stammering and(2) To establish the specificity of these profiles to children who stammer by comparing these data to an existing cohort of children with other language and communication disorders and typically developing peers(3) To develop a profile of risk to enhance early identification of children who stammer who may be at increased risk of adverse mental health outcomes.

博士学位将需要对口吃儿童的社会、情感和行为健康进行实证研究。具体地说，这项研究将涉及设计和进行一项调查，以记录8至13岁有口吃史的儿童的社交、情绪和心理健康状况。情绪调节、语言和认知功能的实验测量也将从一个更小、更密集的抽样小组中获得。该项目的目的将是(1)建立大样本8-13岁有口吃史的儿童的社交、情绪和心理健康状况的患病率和发展概况，以及(2)通过将这些数据与现有的有其他语言和沟通障碍的儿童队列以及典型的发展中的同龄人进行比较，建立这些状况对口吃儿童的特异性；(3)制定风险概况，以加强对口吃儿童的早期识别，这些儿童可能面临不良心理健康后果的风险增加。
