Résumé : | [BDSP. Notice produite par INIST-CNRS R0xp8D9l. Diffusion soumise à autorisation]. Deaf people who use American Sign Language (ASL) are medically underserved and often excluded from health research and surveillance. We used a community participatory approach to develop and administer an ASL-accessible health survey. We identified deaf community strengths (e.g., a low prevalence of current smokers) and 3 glaring health inequities : obesity, partner violence, and suicide. This collaborative work represents the first time a deaf community has used its own data to identify health priorities. |
