Deaf people encounter barriers to accessing cancer information. In this study, a graphically enriched educational video about cervical cancer was created in American Sign Language, with English open captioning and voice overlay. Deaf (n = 127) and hearing (n = 106) women completed cancer knowledge surveys before and after viewing the video. Hearing women yielded higher scores before the intervention. Both groups demonstrated a significant increase in general and cervical cancer knowledge after viewing the video, rendering posttest knowledge scores nearly equal between the groups. These findings indicate that this video is an effective strategy for increasing cervical cancer knowledge among deaf women.
聋人在获取癌症信息方面存在障碍。在本研究中，制作了一部关于宫颈癌的、以美国手语呈现且配有英文字幕和语音叠加的图文丰富的教育视频。127名聋人女性和106名听力正常的女性在观看视频前后完成了癌症知识调查。听力正常的女性在干预前得分更高。两组在观看视频后，一般癌症知识和宫颈癌知识均有显著增加，使得两组的测试后知识得分几乎相等。这些发现表明，该视频是增加聋人女性宫颈癌知识的有效策略。
