The phrase "I can't breathe" has become a national slogan in recent months for those who are protesting against racial discrimination across the world. For clinicians caring for neonates, this phrase should serve as a reminder about the stark disparities in health outcomes and health services for black infants and their families that have persisted for decades in spite of a voluminous amount of literature describing these disparities and the factors contributing to them. It should galvanize us into action within the neonatal intensive care unit and beyond to ensure equal treatment for all patients and their families, and to take measures to compensate for the disparities.

Objective: Creak is an acoustic feature found to discriminate speakers with adductor laryngeal dystonia (AdLD) from typical speakers with outstanding diagnostic accuracy. Yet creak is also used by typical speakers as a phrase-boundary marker. This study aims to compare the prevalence of creak across estimated breath groups in speakers with AdLD and controls to delineate physiological mechanisms underlying creak in AdLD.
