摘要

Currently, few structured self-report instruments that may be used for collecting data from adolescents who are deaf exist for the purposes of public health surveillance or research. The development of structured self-report instruments that allow adolescents who are deaf to communicate health-related information in a manner that protects their identity or provides them with anonymity is critical to the success of conducting health-related research with this population. In order to conduct research that is essential to identifying and addressing the health needs and risks of persons deaf since childhood, investigative studies to address this critical barrier to progress in the field of Public Health Research are necessary.;Quantitative health-related research (HRR) can be used to systematically identify and measure the health-related issues of early-deafened persons (EDPs) that are deemed to exist based on qualitative health research and anecdotal clinician reports. However, conducting quantitative HRR with EDPs is challenging because there are issues related to communication and language that threaten the rigor and control required of sound systematic research. To conduct sound quantitative investigations with EDPs, researchers must use measurement instruments that are determined to be valid and reliable when used with this population, and few of these instruments exist. Therefore, a first step to addressing the health-related issues of EDPs, through systematic HRR, is identifying valid and reliable instruments for use with them in quantitative health research.;The purpose of this descriptive study was to examine the reliability and validity of a health risk behavior survey (HBS) designed to make health surveillance accessible to deaf young adults. Using a secondary analysis approach, the responses and response patterns of 732 deaf/hard of hearing (HOH) and hearing college students who took the HBS were examined and compared. The students' survey responses were compared to: (a) identify any differences between students' response patterns, and (b) explore what factors, such as hearing status or language proficiency and use, are associated with those differences. This study was an investigation of whether or not the students' responses might have reflected differences between, the deaf/HOH and hearing young adults' self-reported health risk behaviors or might have been attributable to other factors related taking the health survey; such as, differences in literacy skills or differences in language proficiency and use.;Specifically, this study examined and compared the dispersion of students' responses among each survey item (comparisons by hearing status and language proficiency), the consistency of students' responses to related survey items (comparisons by hearing status and language proficiency), and the number and pattern of students "don't know" and skipped responses (comparisons by hearing status and language proficiency). In addition, the readability of the instrument's survey items was also examined using the Flesch Reading Ease and Flesch-Kincaid Grade Level tests.;Analysis of the students' responses and response patterns revealed that statistically significant differences in responses and response patterns existed between the deaf/HOH and hearing young adults in this sample. Findings from this study suggest that some of these differences might reflect true differences in self-reported health risk behaviors while other differences were related to language proficiency (reading skills), health knowledge and experiences, or the readability of the HBS.
