Notes

Interim prioritisation:

Due to an administrative error, 49 questions were included in the survey rather than 50. The question that was unintentionally omitted from the prioritisation survey was:

Can working on executive function skills (for example flexible thinking, planning ahead, organising and problem solving skills) help children who stammer?

A total of 201 respondents started the survey, however only 180 participated in the second step (ranking the top ten questions they had selected). This is the reason that we have recorded the total respondents as 180.

It is also worth noting that not all respondents who began the process of ranking the questions, ranked all 10 questions (i.e. from 1 through to 10) but instead partially ranked them. In the analysis, we included data from all respondents who had either fully or partially ranked the ten questions.
