The data from Bloodstein (1995) do not strongly suggest anything that couldn't be accounted for by things other than stress. For example, higher SES families are usually more able to reach health professionals, thus a higher referral and identification rate. I think the wider issue of stress is better examined within the context of the many studies of parenting, which do not find obvious differences between parents of children who stutter and who do not.
