In this episode, together with Sylvaine Contri we are talking about the research poster presented in June 2026 in Brest at the 30th Congress of the National Federation of Speech-Language Pathologists. It focuses on the translation of the Stages of Change questionnaire for adolescents who stutter and a preliminary study involving 33 young French people. This project is being carried out in partnership with the CRC in Rome to replicate in Europe the work of Patricia Zebrowski and Naomi Rodgers on this questionnaire. We present this research and detail its initial findings. If you’d like to learn more about the concept of stages of change, you can listen to the 13th episode of the podcast!
