Would you like better health?

 

We know that deaf people are more likely to get ill than hearing people.  We are told plenty of horror stories.  Deaf people not understanding what's wrong or taking the wrong medication.  Deaf people not given an interpreter at the doctors.
 
But it doesn’t have to be like this!
 
To improve health services for deaf people, evidence is needed that things are not working well.  Unfortunately, we don't have a lot of good scientific 'evidence'. Without this it is hard to get health services to change. No-one has tried to get this evidence before... until now.
 
SignHealth is leading a group of Deaf organisations to produce the scientific evidence. For the first stage, we need Deaf people to complete an online survey (in BSL
and English). We can then compare the results from Deaf people with results from hearing people.
