title: Reduced versions of dysphonia coping protocols.
abstract: The purpose of the study is to explore two reduced versions of the PEED-27 (Brazilian VDCQ) and compare them to the original version. It was performed a retrospective analysis of PEED-27 questionnaires of 100 individuals with vocal disorder, 37 men and 63 women, mean age of 43.7 in order to compare reduced versions of the instrument. The analysis showed that the three instruments have high level of correlation, thus their results are comparable (PEED 27 x 15, r=+0.910, p< 0.001; PEED 27 x 10, r=+0.873, p<0.001 and PEED 15 x 10, r=+0.924, p< 0.001). The PEED-10 and PEED-15 are reduced and adapted versions to the Brazilian Portuguese language. They evaluate strategies used by dysphonic individuals to cope with their voice problem. The clinician must decide which version to use based on the available time and on the need of more detailed information.
