More background information:
The team produced a film to train healthcare providers to effectively serve diverse Deaf, DeafBlind, and Hard of Hearing patients. The intervention was designed through a two-year collaboration with the Deaf community – community forums, focus groups, and an intervention development team inclusive of Deaf researchers, filmmakers, and laypeople. During this event, we will premiere the healthcare provider training film and then host a panel discussion that explores the possible applications of this film within the healthcare system to improve Deaf people’s access to care.
