Eight college students enrolled in group therapy for stuttering were divided into two equal groups for 20 weeks. The training group supplemented therapy with endurance running and calisthenics three days per week. The subjects were tested prior to and at the conclusion of the training on a battery of stuttering tests and cardiovascular measures taken at rest, after stuttering, and after submaximal exercise. There were no significant differences (0.05 level) prior to training. At the conclusion of training, the training group was significandy better in cardiovascular response to exercise and stuttering. Although physical training did not significantly aid the reduction of stuttering as measured in this study, training did cause an increased ability to adapt physiologically to physical stress and to the stress of stuttering.

BACKGROUND Digital mental health treatments have the potential to expand access to services in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs), but the uptake of interventions has been limited. Furthermore, the attitudes of those in LMICs toward intervention formats are rarely studied. OBJECTIVE To understand the attitudes of Indian college students toward a variety of digital and non-digital treatment delivery formats. METHODS Indian college students received descriptions of seven treatment delivery formats: unguided digital self-help, guided digital self-help, bibliotherapy, one-on-one therapy with a professional, one-on-one therapy with a lay provider, group therapy with a professional, and group therapy with a lay provider. They were asked to rate each delivery format on three domains: a) perceived helpfulness, b) availability, and c) willingness to try. RESULTS 95% of individuals were willing to try one-on-one therapy with a professional, 56% were willing to try one-on-one therapy with a lay counselor, participants were less willing to try group interventions than one-on-one interventions, and <50% were willing to try digital self-help interventions. Additionally, there was a strong association between willingness to try and ratings of helpfulness (r=0.61). Ratings were not associated with gender, age, or depressive symptoms. CONCLUSIONS Our findings suggest that one barrier limiting the uptake of digital interventions in LMICs is that individuals do not perceive them as helpful. Efforts to disseminate information about non-traditional intervention delivery formats and their benefits are warranted.
