Tim, Nan, and Klaas, I agree completely with what Nan and Klaas wrote about prevalence. It would seem to me that prevalence data tells us more about the risk factors for stuttering in the first place but not much about the experience of stuttering. I'm working on a project right now that hopefully will help us make some generalizations about one's individual experience of stuttering and how it might be affected by one's family-held attitudes and broader cultural attitudes. Wish me luck. <smile> Ken
