Mission
To understand differences in attitudes, knowledge, and skills as it relates to health information between deaf, hard of hearing, and hearing individuals with the goal of improving access to health information for all.
​



​Goals

• ​Expand the evidence base on visual learning and its relevance to health information
• Eliminating existing disparities in health information
• Empower Deaf, Hard of Hearing, and Hearing individuals regardless of their health literacy, to access reliable health information

Finding information about your health is important but sometimes hard. For the deaf and hard of hearing community, this can be more challenging. We want to research on how to make access to health information easier for the deaf and hard of hearing community. So, we are doing a research study to figure out how.

We want to interview deaf and hard of hearing people. That way, we can learn how they understand health information. We will also have activities on the computer for you to do. It will take about two hours and we will pay you $40.00.
