Before starting work on the health inequity assignment, ‘you must obtain instructor approval of your articles. Students will receive zero points for use of something other than peer-reviewed journal articles.

The health inequity that will be discussed is deaf patients experiencing communication barriers that negatively impact their access to healthcare and health literacy. These barriers can lead to poor health outcomes for deaf individuals.
Article 1:
Margellos-Anast, H., Estarziau, M., & Kaufman, G. (2006). Cardiovascular disease knowledge among culturally deaf patients in Chicago. Preventive Medicine, 42(3), 235–239. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.ypmed.2005.12.002
This study researched the level of knowledge about cardiovascular disease risk factors and symptoms among 203 deaf adults in Chicago. A survey was conducted to assess participants’ knowledge. The findings showed low levels of knowledge about heart attack and stroke symptoms. Only 49% knew chest pain was a heart attack symptom and over 60% could not list any stroke symptoms. This suggests communication barriers may limit deaf individuals’ access to health information and education.
Article 2:
Iezzoni, L. I., O’Day, B. L., Killeen, M., & Harker, H. (2010). Communicating about health care: Observations from persons who are deaf or hard of hearing. Annals of Internal Medicine, 152(10), 656–662. https://doi.org/10.7326/0003-4819-152-10-201005180-00005
This study interviewed 31 deaf or hard of hearing individuals about their experiences communicating with healthcare providers. Barriers to effective communication like lack of interpreters and inaccessible health information were examined. The findings showed participants faced ongoing problems conveying health histories and asking questions during medical encounters. They reported not fully understanding diagnoses or medical instructions due to communication difficulties. This suggests the healthcare system is not adequately meeting the needs of deaf patients.
