Popis:	Purpose This study explored college students' basic knowledge of stuttering. Method One hundred eighty college students were interviewed to assess their knowledge of stuttering. Participant responses were coded for core stuttering behaviors and etiology of stuttering. Participants also were asked if they knew someone who stuttered and if they were interested in learning more about stuttering. Results Repetitions were the most frequently described core behavior of stuttering. The majority of participants reported either that they did not know what caused stuttering, or that it was caused by nervousness. Most participants stated that they would like to know more about stuttering. Knowing a person who stuttered did not translate into knowing more about stuttering. Conclusion College students do not exhibit adequate knowledge about the causes or characteristics of stuttering.
