A Profile of the Self-Reported Psychosocial Impact of Chronic Voice Disorder in a UK Adolescent Population
This study indicates that the overall self-perceived psychosocial impact arising from chronic dysphonia differs between males and females, with a downward trend across adolescence for males but an increase between 10 and 13½ years followed by a decrease towards 17 years of age for females. Females and those with vocal tract discomfort are at greater risk of self-reported psychosocial impact.
