Naylor 2020 finding of high Misophonia prevalence in a med school population

A 2020 survey of 336 medical students at the university of Nottingham assessed the prevalence of Misophonia using the Amsterdam Misophonia Scale (A-Miso-S), a 7-item self-report measure adapted from the Yale-Brown Obsessive-Compulsive Scale assessing misophonia severity. the authors found that nearly half (49.1%) of the medical student cohort experienced clinically significant misophonia, representing a higher rate then previous studies of ungraduate populations. the authors also point to factor analysis of the A-MISO-S to state that the scale is a valid tool for assessing Misophonia (Naylor et al., 2020)
