Much of the literature,pamphlets(NSA etc)mention that approx. 1% of the population for just about any country stutter. I have now met hundreds of people who stutter, but never one who was surveyed for such data. Years ago I was told it was 2%. Many PWS would not admit to stuttering. What research supports the incidence of stuttering by both age, sex and country?
