Participate
Our research is only possible because of the people who stutter who generously share their experiences with us. If you are interested in participating in our studies, we would be honored to have you. Your voice shapes the science we do and the community we are trying to build.
Research Registry
Are you a person who stutters, or the parent of a child who stutters, and want to help further our collective understanding of stuttering? The Stuttering Lab at the University of Iowa invites you to join our growing registry of people who stutter from around the country. Joining the registry means that you will be informed of upcoming research studies housed at the University of Iowa for which you/your child are eligible to participate in. We will not share your information with anyone outside our team.
Risks and Benefits: There are no known risks to being in this registry beyond loss of confidentiality of data. While you may not benefit personally, some people who stutter experience emotional benefit from giving back to the stuttering community by participating in stuttering research.
Cost and Compensation: Being in this registry does not cost you anything. You / your child will not be paid for being in the research registry. However, if you are eligible to participate in an upcoming study, participation in that study may involve payment to participants.
Voluntary: Taking part in this research registry is completely voluntary. If you join the registry and are invited to participate in a particular upcoming study, you are not obligated to participate. And if you join the registry today, you can stop participating any time by notifying us that you would like to be removed from the registry.
If you would like to add yourself or your child to the registry, please click “Join Registry” to provide your consent, contact information, and answer a few intake questions:
