Long-Term Effects of Voice Prevention: Vocal Health of Former University Students After Taking Up the Teaching Profession

Long-term monitoring of vocal health in prospective teachers provides valuable information for assessing the sustainable impact of preventive measures. The reduced proportion of perceived voice handicap and the continued use of vocal health behaviors suggest that preventive measures during teacher training may have lasting protective effects on teachers' vocal well-being. Subjective tools such as the VTD scale can support early risk identification, and internalization of vocal health behaviors should be considered when evaluating prevention programs.
