使用美国手语（ASL）的聋人在医疗上得不到充分的服务，而且经常被排除在健康研究和监测之外。我们采用社区参与的方法来开发和管理ASL可访问的健康调查。我们确定了聋人社区的优势（例如，目前吸烟者的低患病率）和3个明显的健康不平等：肥胖，伴侣暴力和自杀。这项合作工作是聋人社区首次使用自己的数据来确定卫生优先事项。(Am J公共卫生。2011;101：2233-2244. doi：10.2105/AJPH.2011.300247）
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. (Am J Public Health. 2011;101:2233-2244. doi:10.2105/AJPH.2011.300247)
