    Abstract Objective: To verify the reliability of vocal self-assessment tools in individuals with vocal complaints using a digital platform and in-person.
    Methods: Data from 50 Brazilian adults with vocal complaints were collected. The participants answered the Voice Symptoms Scale (VoiSS), the Voice Handicap Index - 10 (VHI-10), and questions regarding personal information and their general health. The data collection occurred in two moments, within a period of 2-14 days, with time variation between participants, and always in the same collection order: 1. using a digital platform (Google Forms); 2. In-person. The data were analyzed descriptively and inferentially using the SPSS 25.0 software and the Wilcoxon Test.
    Results: The self-perception of vocal symptoms in the Emotional factors for women presented a statistical difference between the digital platform and the in-person response (P = 0.029); higher scores were observed when answers were given in-person compared to using a digital platform.
    Conclusion: Overall, the participants perceived their voice symptoms and voice handicap similarly when answers were given using a digital platform and in-person. The Emotion voice symptoms in women were the only exception, although remaining deviated; however, the perception of the symptoms may have been attenuated during the in-person care.

    Abstract Objective: To identify the progression of voice disorders and their risk factors in teachers.
    Design: Longitudinal quantitative study conducted in municipal schools.
    Method: Of the 575 teachers who participated in the baseline study, 469 were re-evaluated after 3 years of the initial study. Out of these, 152 reported having a voice disorder at baseline and participated in the re-evaluation. Voice disorders were diagnosed with the Voice Handicap Index (VHI) and teachers were considered positive for voice disorders when the total score was above 19. Symptoms of common mental disorder were measured with the SRQ-20 scale (Self-Reporting Questionnaire, 20 items), with a cut-off value of 8 points. A bivariate analysis was performed using Poisson regression to verify the differences in the proportion of teachers who continued presenting a voice disorder among the different categories of the independent variables in the study.
    Results: A total of 69.1% of the teachers reported having a voice disorder after 3 years. High prevalence of acute common mental disorder symptoms was a predictor for a recurring perceived voice disorder. The risk of having a voice disorder was 30% higher for teachers who presented a common mental disorder 3 years after.
    Conclusions: Teachers who had both a voice disorder and symptoms of common mental disorder were more likely to maintain the voice disorder.

    Abstract Objective/hypothesis: To verify the relationship between common mental disorders (CMDs) and the Voice Handicap Index (VHI) in elementary school teachers from municipal schools. The VHI mean scores in the group of teachers with symptoms of mental disorder were significantly higher than those in the group of teachers with no symptoms in the total scores of three subscales: disability (functional domain), handicap (emotional domain), and impairment (organic domain).
    Design: An observational cross-sectional, quantitative study was conducted in the public schools of urban and rural areas of the city of Pelotas.
    Method: A total of 575 teachers participated. Vocal handicap was measured using VHI, producing a total score and three subscales, including emotional, functional, and organic domains. The Self-Reporting Questionnaire, 20 items scale was used to measure mental disorder symptoms. A log transformation was used, followed by linear regression, to evaluate the relationship between the independent variables and the outcomes.
    Results: Teachers with CMD symptoms and who took a sick leave from teaching because of voice problems obtained the lowest scores in VHI (P < 0.050). Emotional, functional, and organic voice handicap scores were significantly higher in teachers with CMD symptoms (P < 0.001).
    Conclusions: A close association between voice problems and mental disorders was identified based on the statistically significant association between high levels of voice handicap and the mental disorders.

    Abstract Objective/hypothesis: This study aimed to identify risk factors for the incidence of perceived voice disorders in teachers, specifically related to the influence of common mental disorders.
    Design: This is a longitudinal quantitative study conducted in municipal schools.
    Method: We performed a data analysis of 469 teachers, reassessed 3 years after an initial study. The Voice Handicap Index was used to measure the impact of a probable voice problem with a cutoff value of 19 points. Mental disorder symptomatology was measured by the Self-Reporting Questionnaire (20 items), with a cutoff value of eight points. Bivariate analysis was conducted through Poisson regression to verify proportion differences in the occurrence of perceived voice disorders among the study's different categories of independent variables. The same technique of Poisson regression was used to assess risk factors for perceived voice disorder incidence in a specific hierarchic model.
    Results: The incidence of a perceived voice disorder was 17.1%. Teachers who lectured in fourth grade and below presented a risk of 20% less than those who lectured from the fifth grade up (P = 0.046). Teachers who reported taking a leave of absence because of their voice had a 32% more chance of a probable perceived voice disorder (P = 0.024). Teachers who presented a common mental disorder had twice the risk of perceived voice disorder (P > 0.001).
    Conclusions: This study concluded that teachers presented a higher risk of developing a perceived voice disorder when they have the following features: lectured from fifth grade up, have gone on leave because of their voice, and showed behavior indicative of common mental disorder.
