Abstract

This study surveyed 21 otolaryngologists (70% return) and 32 speech-language pathologists (46% return) in Maine about the treatment of vocal nodules in children and adults, referral patterns, effectiveness of therapy, and adequacy of speech-language pathologists' training. Differences in opinions between the two professional groups were found in treatment of children and referral patterns.
