Summary

The goal of this research is to create a training film for hearing healthcare providers to teach them how to competently and sensitively interact with Deaf patients. In Year 1, focus groups will be facilitated to elicit feedback that will inform video production of the training film. In Year 2, film production will take place, as well as a randomized clinical trial (RCT) to test the feasibility and preliminary efficacy of the new training intervention.

  • access to an informed consent form that can be used for a simulated informed consent session
  • We will also screen participants' self-reported level of experience with Deaf people, as we aim to recruit participants with little-to-no prior experience interacting with Deaf people to reflect the most probable real-word encounter that a Deaf person would have when receiving healthcare services.
