What a fascinating paper! Thank you for sharing! and best wishes on being able to extend your research on what ATHs believe causes and possibly cures stuttering.

Although you report that most people in your country will seek the help from ATHs rather than go to "hospitals," in your experience as a pharmacist, and as a person who is actively starting a support network for PWS in Burkina Faso, do stutterers also seek help from the medical community for stuttering? There are some people who stutter in the US who have found the use of prescribed medications to be helpful, particularly in managing the anxiety some experience. Here, parents also frequently seek the advice of pediatricians (their child's doctor) for advice about stuttering.
