Socioeconomic Status, Voice Disorder Risk, and Voice-Related Handicap Across Childhood
In this study, children and adolescents from lower-SES homes reported higher voice disorder prevalence and greater voice-related handicap than their peers from higher-income homes. Future research is needed to elucidate the mechanisms underlying these findings and to further clarify the association between SES, voice disorder risk, and voice-related handicap across childhood.
