Medication-Related Experience of Deaf American Sign Language Users.

ABSTRACT

PLAIN LANGUAGE SUMMARY: Previous studies have shown that deaf and hard-of-hearing (DHH) individuals have low health literacy and higher rates of unintentional medication misuse. DHH participants described their experiences related to the pharmacy and technology, as situated around negative attitudes and language barriers. Based on four themes, which emerged from our analysis, we identified areas where may help to reduce these care inequities.
