The Cochrane Protocol is published!

Åse Sjøstrand, first author

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.
