Description
Stinnett and co-authors test whether poor neighborhoods link to worse voice and reflux symptoms. They used two patient surveys, the VHI-10 for voice and the RSI for reflux. Each address was matched to an area deprivation score, a measure of local disadvantage.
The study covered 1,310 adults seen at a major voice clinic in 2024. Scores were compared across four deprivation groups, then adjusted for age, race, sex, and health factors. The work asks whether place adds burden beyond a person's own traits. Results speak to fair access and support for patients in deprived areas.
