The EST project – What is going on autumn 2020?

 

Covid-19 has changed many plans in 2020 for people all over the world and will also influence the near future.  We apologies for being rather quiet on the blog during the last 6 months. Despite this, the EST group has been continuously working, extending the amount of zoom meetings to new heights. Many papers are in the writing, submission and revision process, including the Cochrane review. The RCT is under development, including a possible co-operation with Swedish colleagues. We will present them  in a blog post of their own.   

We are having great and important discussion about the nature of stuttering, and acknowledge the challenges with that and the implications each choice has for the next step. Nobody said that research was easy, but planning intervention research with kindergarten children that stutter still gets us to brainstorm, re-think and counterbalance methodological issues, ethical considerations and practical possibilities (or limitations).

We had also a meeting with the reference group of the EST project on September 24th, presenting updates and progress about the project, discussing important choices and definitions for the project.

The project group has for quite some time discussed the possibility and wish for having some blog post in Norwegian also addressing the Norwegian context of the study, as well as starting a Q&A section in order to interact with our readers directly. This was also supported by the reference group. Hence, we will give it try.

Enjoy the autumn, stay healthy and follow the upcoming blog posts from a “safe distance”.
