“…Deaf LGBTQ status was also significantly associated with increased risk for arthritis (RR=1.26) and for chronic comorbidity (2 or more medical conditions) (RR=1.25) [32] in comparison with the Deaf non-LGBTQ population. A small-scale study (n=36) reported that the LGBTQ status were not significantly related to the depression score [33]. In a study involving transgender Deaf communities, it was found depression/anxiety was higher for those with nonbinary identities [34].…”

Objectives: (i) To identify peer reviewed publications reporting the mental and/or physical health outcomes of Deaf adults who are sign language users and to synthesise evidence; (ii) If data available, to analyse how the health of the adult Deaf population compares to that of the general population; (iii) to evaluate the quality of evidence in the identified publications; (iv) to identify limitations of the current evidence base and suggest directions for future research. Design: Systematic review. Data sources: Medline, Embase, PsychINFO, and Web of Science Eligibility criteria for selecting studies: The inclusion criteria were Deaf adult populations who used a signed language, all study types, including methods-focused papers which also contain results in relation to health outcomes of Deaf signing populations. Full-text articles, published in peer-review journals were searched up to 13th June 2023, published in English or a signed language such as ASL (American Sign Language). Data extraction: Supported by the Rayyan systematic review software, two authors independently reviewed identified publications at each screening stage (primary and secondary). A third reviewer was consulted to settle any disagreements. Comprehensive data extraction included research design, study sample, methodology, findings, and a quality assessment. Results: Of the 35 included studies, the majority (25 out of 35) concerned mental health outcomes. The findings from this review highlighted the inequalities in health and mental health outcomes for Deaf signing populations in comparison with the general population, gaps in the range of conditions studied in relation to Deaf people, and the poor quality of available data. Conclusions: Population sample definition and consistency of standards of reporting of health outcomes for Deaf people who use sign language should be improved. Further research on health outcomes not previously reported is needed to gain better understanding of Deaf people’s state of health.

“…14,15 Without a reliable screening scale administered in the primary language of deaf women, there are no data on maternal postpartum depression in this population. 16 However, research has shown a higher prevalence of behavioral health disparities, including depression, in this population. [17][18][19] Pregnancy status aside, there is a higher prevalence of IPV in the Deaf community; when compared with hearing women, college-aged deaf women are twice as likely to have experienced IPV in the past year.…”
