Sign language interpretation is essential for facilitating communication between Deaf people and hearing individuals; it creates a cultural and linguistic bridge. There is growing evidence showing that communication barriers between health care staff members and Deaf patients are the main factors for health disparities.

Between 500,000 and 1.5 million South Africans are estimated to be Deaf and use SASL [37]. Communication is a serious barrier to Deaf people’s access to health care and health information with poorer health status [38-43]. Communication problems between Deaf people and health care providers result in delays in diagnosis, missed appointments, repeat visits, misdiagnoses, and misunderstandings [38-42].

Accessing mental health services is a challenge in the United States, a challenge that is further magnified for persons who are deaf and hard of hearing (D/HH). D/HH is an umbrella term used to encompass a diverse community. Other terms used by members of the community may include “deaf,” “Deaf,” or “late-deafened.”

The national estimates suggest that nearly one million Americans are deaf signers [19]. The internet is a primary source of health information for this audience and played an important role for deaf adults during the pandemic [20]. Greater attention in improving the accessibility and user experience of health information on the internet is especially imperative for deaf adults, for whom there is relatively little available research [6,21].

Health disparities have been experienced by deaf and hard of hearing (DHH) people in general, as well as during the COVID-19 pandemic. DHH people often do not have equitable access to health information, especially during emergencies [1-3], which further contributes to low perceived quality-of-life outcomes and associated health disparities [4].

Deaf American Sign Language (ASL) users are nearly 7 times more likely than their hearing peers to have inadequate health literacy [1]. Deaf ASL users (henceforth, Deaf) rarely receive language concordant health care services and are at highest risk for miscommunication with their health care providers. Deaf individuals understand less than 30% of what is being said through lipreading [2,3].

Scant data exists on HIV screening uptake among deaf American Sign Language (ASL) users, who represent a medically underrepresented linguistic and cultural group [14]. One ASL adaptation of the BRFSS survey given to 282 (mean age 44.6 years) deaf adults in Rochester, New York, reported a lifetime screening rate of 47.5% in 2008, though this sample reflected primarily Caucasian, higher-educated, deaf adults and did not include diverse members from other regions in the United States [15].

Around 500,000 people are deaf or hard of hearing (termed as “deaf” henceforth) in the United States and rely primarily on American sign language (ASL), which requires visual communication [1]. As such, they have much in common with members of other linguistic and cultural minority groups, due to their reliance on ASL over English for daily communication.
