Ensuring Trial Accessibility for Deaf Participants
Fri, Apr 25, 2025 · 3:15–4:15 PM CDT Hyatt Regency New Orleans
About this session
In clinical research, the deaf community continues to be a chronically underserved group. Ensuring accessibility for deaf patients can be a challenge without proper guidance. There are many paths to accessibility, including written communication, computer-assisted real-time transcription, use of interpreters, and providers who know American Sign Language, to name a few. This session will focus on strategies to improve accessibility for deaf patients at study sites. Attendees will learn how to choose the right communication method for their patients, interact with interpreters, and incorporate these expenses into the clinical trial budget. This session will challenge attendees to further their understanding of the deaf community and promote advocacy at their sites.
