 The purpose of this study is to examine the reliability and usefulness of the Japanese version of the pVHI for school children and their parents. Participants were 21 school children with dysphonia treated in ENT clinics in five areas of Japan and 106 school children without dysphonia in Okayama prefecture. The pVHI was administered to all these 127 school children and their parents. The groups of children with and without dysphonia did not differ with respect to the male/female ratio or mean age. Reliability of the pVHI was measured through Cronbach's alpha of internal consistency. Usefulness was assessed through the extent to which the pVHI predicted the presence or absence of dysphonia. Cronbach's alpha of the pVHI was 0.92 for the 127 school children and 0.93 for their parents. There were significant differences between the dysphonic and non-dysphonic group in the pVHI. In conclusion, the Japanese version of the pVHI showed a high level of reliability and the presence or absence of dysphonia can be predicted through using the pVHI.
