“…One such tool is the Substance Abuse Screener in American Sign Language (SAS-ASL), an adaptation of the Substance Abuse Subtle Screening Inventory (SASSI) (Guthmann et al, 2012). Additionally, current projects are underway to develop and test deaf adaptations of evidence-based treatments, including Illness Management and Recovery (Mueser et al, 2006) and Seeking Safety (Najavits, 2002).…”

Objective This article reviews what is known about behavioral health treatment of deaf persons with comorbid trauma and addiction. Method We discuss how to work therapeutically with deaf people with comorbid trauma and addiction, both through a review of the literature and through clinical observations of the authors. The article also includes the personal stories of two people – a Deaf peer specialist and a hearing psychiatrist – who share their humbling stories about the recovery process for deaf people and the challenges of learning to become an effective Deaf mental health care provider. Findings Deaf people report higher rates of mental health problems than the general population. Although initial empirical work with the deaf population suggests high rates of posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) and substance use disorder (SUD), little is known about the rates of comorbid PTSD/SUD, nor how to effectively address this comorbidity in treatment. Conclusions and Implications for Practice Substantial work is needed to raise awareness of comorbid PTSD/SUD and provide treatment tools to agencies and providers who work with deaf clients, infusing trauma-informed care into deaf SUD services and SUD treatment into deaf mental health care. Fortunately, several endeavors are on the horizon to disseminate assessment and treatment tools to work with deaf people recovering from trauma and addiction.

“…Importantly, the design of the SAVR-S considered accessibility for persons with a variety of sensory and cognitive disabilities such as spinal cord injury. We created and validated a separate, shorter instrument for persons who primarily communicate through American Sign Language, but that instrument was not utilized in the current study (Guthmann, Lazowski, Moore, Heinemann, & Embree, 2012).…”

“…Despite these vulnerabilities, there is a dearth of health promotion or prevention materials and programs appropriate for Deaf/HH youth. Programs designed for hearing youth tend to be inaccessible for the Deaf/HH community, and adequately tailored materials for use by educators of this group are rarely available (Guthmann, Lazowski, Moore, Heinemann, & Embree, 2012). Health related public service announcements and educational videos are infrequently captioned or available in ASL, and health information in ASL on the internet is limited (M. M. McKee et al, 2015).…”

Electronic cigarette use and vaping have reached epidemic proportions among youth in the United States. The extent of use among Deaf and Hardof-Hearing (Deaf/HH) youth is unknown. Furthermore, little tobacco and ecigarette use prevention programming exists for Deaf/HH students. To better understand knowledge and use of e-cigarettes and other tobacco products among Deaf/HH students, we conducted a qualitative study with these youth, as well as school staff and administrators who serve this population. We conducted eight focus groups with Deaf/HH students (four with middle school students and four with high school students) at Schools for the Deaf (n=17) and in mainstream programs (n=17) to assess their experience with ecigarettes and other tobacco products and exposure to school-based ecigarette and tobacco use prevention programming. Key informant interviews were conducted with seven staff and administrative representatives to further explore material addressed in the student focus groups. Findings from student focus groups and key informant interviews indicated that there is considerable awareness of and curiosity about ecigarettes and vaping. Many misconceptions about vaping were held among students. In addition to industry marketing, exposure to e-cigarettes occurred through interactions with older students/alumni at Schools for the
