Abstract Details

The effect of voice disorders on adolescents' physical/social concerns and career decisions has not been previously reported in the literature. The purpose of this study was to describe the effects of voice disorders following airway reconstruction surgery upon physical/educational concerns, social concerns, as well as career decisions in comparison to control participants. Sixteen experimental participants between the ages of 14 and 18 years were gender- and grade-matched with 16 control participants, who had no history of voice disorder or airway surgery. All participants were administered a 31-question survey via telephone. Results indicated that experimental participants had lower self-reported quality of life in the areas of physical/educational concerns and social concerns in comparison with control participants. Career decisions did not differ significantly from experimental to control participants.
