Frequently Asked Questions
How are topics for videos chosen? Members of our team are working closely with The National Center for Deaf Health Research which is working on an exciting survey to identify and define important disparities and important health topics related to the Deaf community. Our initial project, based upon interviews with Deaf members of the Rochester area, and preliminary data from the Rochester Deaf Health Survey, will focus on obesity. In the future, we plan to continue referring to the results of this study when they become available and interviewing Deaf individuals in our area to identify other important topics. How will videos be available for viewing? We want the information we provide to be easily accessible. We will post the videos as they are completed here on this blog. In addition, we plan to post them in higher video quality in another location still to be determined. Finally, we hope to have DVD copies available for purchase by individuals or physicians. How often will new videos come out? Medical students at the University of Rochester School of Medicine and Dentistry will continue to make videos with support from a variety of organizations and help from the local Deaf community. We anticipate that there will be two to three new videos created each year. |
