We are so
proud to announce that the Cochrane protocol for our systematic review of
“Non‐pharmacological interventions for stuttering in children aged between
birth and six years” is finally published. The protocol describes what our
review will cover, including search strategies, primary and secondary outcome
measures and risk of bias analyzes.

We have spent
the last year working on the protocol. This work includes writing, planning
analyses, working on the comments from peer reviewers and rewriting. Getting to
know the process of working on a Cochrane review has been inspiring and we have
learned a lot over the last year.
The Cochrane
Developmental, Psychosocial and Learning Problems group have provided highly appreciated support
during the process to enable the protocol to meet the high-quality standards. We
are thankful for all comments, reviews and suggestions for improving and
clarifying the protocol.
Now awaits
the next step! We are motivated to start the screening process for randomized
controlled trials (RCTs) of all forms of non‐pharmacological interventions for
stuttering in young children compared with no intervention, a waiting‐list
intervention or treatment as usual. We have thousands of published and
non-published studies to screen and cannot wait to dig even deeper into the field of stuttering
treatment research.
