Abstract
This survey was designed to help determine if students training to become speech-language pathologists (SLP) in the Master of Communication Disorders program at Arkansas State University practice daily vocal hygiene regimens and understand the importance of maintaining a healthy voice. The items within the survey consisted of closed ended questions and rating scales. The questions were placed into categories which included water/caffeine intake, vocal exercises, and vocal use. The results indicated that most SLP graduate students implement routines to maintain good vocal health practices. This study revealed a need to further investigate vocal hygiene regimens in other professional voice users in health professions (i.e., occupational therapy, physical therapy, nursing, social work).
