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. 2008-04-28 English text Miami University / OhioLINK http://rave.ohiolink.edu/etdc/view?acc_num=miami1209090634 http://rave.ohiolink.edu/etdc/view?acc_num=miami1209090634 unrestricted This thesis or dissertation is protected by copyright: all rights reserved.
