Validation of the Newest Vital Sign in American Sign Language for Deaf Users MICHAEL MCKEE MD, MPH DEPARTMENT OF FAMILY MEDICINE AND NATIONAL CENTER FOR DEAF HEALTH RESEARCH

Nothing to financially disclose Rochester Prevention Research Center National Center for Deaf Health Research

Background Deaf American Sign Language (ASL) users Visual based language Cultural basis for hearing loss Fund of information issues despite normal intelligence Social marginalization (similarities with other immigrant populations) Lack of access to incidental learning opportunities Low English reading level No available health literacy tool available for Deaf ASL users Most current health literacy tools rely on phonetics, pronunciation (REALM) or extensive reading comprehension (TOFHLA) Rochester Prevention Research Center National Center for Deaf Health Research

Research Objective Creation and validation of a health literacy measure in American Sign Language (ASL) to assess the prevalence of health literacy and its association with cardiovascular risk factors among Deaf ASL users Rochester Prevention Research Center National Center for Deaf Health Research

Newest Vital Sign (NVS) (Weiss, 2005) Rochester Prevention Research Center National Center for Deaf Health Research QUESTIONS 1.If you eat the entire container, how many calories will you eat? 1, If you are allowed to eat 60 g of carbohydrates as a snack, how much ice cream could you have? Any of the following is correct: 1 cup; half the container; 2 servings 3. Your doctor advises you to reduce the amount of saturated fat in your diet. You usually have 42 g of saturated fat each day, which includes 1 serving of ice cream. If you stop eating ice cream, how many grams of saturated fat would you be consuming each day? If you usually eat 2500 calories in a day, what percentage of your daily value of calories will you be eating if you eat one serving? 10% Pretend that you are allergic to the following substances: Penicillin, peanuts, latex gloves, and bee stings. 5. Is it safe for you to eat this ice cream? No 6. (Ask only if the patient responds “no” to question 5): Why not? Because it has peanut oil.

Methods Adaption and Translation Work (NVS  ASL-NVS version) Translation Work Group- translated (and back-translated) Touch screen computer-based survey interface In-depth cognitive interviews and beta-testing (n=14) Modifications to ASL-NVS survey ASL-NVS Validation Analysis Peabody Individual Achievement Test-Revised (PIAT-R) reading comprehension subtest Chew’s 3 Health Literacy Screener Educational Attainment Rochester Prevention Research Center National Center for Deaf Health Research

Study Population Eligibility Criteria: Age (40-70) Greater Rochester MSA, New York Deaf ASL users (n=133) Hearing English speakers (n=211) No demographic variable differences except race/ethnicity (p=0.0011) Racial/ethnic predispositions comparable to national based surveys Rochester Prevention Research Center National Center for Deaf Health Research

Demographic VariableDeaf (n = 133)Hearing (n = 211)p-value Newest Vital Sign (Score) <.0001 Inadequate (0-1)43.84 (64)23.92 (50) Indeterminate (2-4)36.99 (54)30.14 (63) Adequate (5-6)19.18 (96)45.93 (96) PIAT Grade Level Reading <.0001 Less than 8th grade70.31 (90)29.33 (61) 8th grade or more29.69 (38)70.67 (147) *Adjustment for age, sex, race/ethnicity, education did not change the significance of this finding NVS Score (0-1)– Inadequate after adjustment Deaf: 41.0% Hearing: 22.8%

Correlations with ASL-NVS and NVS Correlations with NVS Spearman Correlation Coefficients Prob > |r| under H0: Rho=0 Number of Observations DeafHearing NVS Categories PIAT Grade Level (treated continuously) <.0001 PIAT Grade Level (  8 th grade vs >8 th grade ) <.0001 EDUCATION (  HS, some college, and 4 year and above <.0001 Chew’s Health Literacy Screener Questionnaire ( ).0002<.0001 Rochester Prevention Research Center National Center for Deaf Health Research

Discussion ASL-NVS and NVS both demonstrate high correlation with the PIAT-R Moderate correlation with Chew’s 3 health literacy questionnaire and educational attainment ASL-NVS appears to be a valid health literacy instrument for Deaf individuals Deaf ASL users appear to struggle with higher inadequate health literacy rates compared with hearing individuals even after adjustment for other factors Potential implications for linguistic and cultural adaptation and validation of health literacy instruments for linguistic minorities Limitations Rochester Prevention Research Center National Center for Deaf Health Research

Future Directions Use of ASL-NVS to measure effects of low health literacy on cardiovascular risk Testing of web- and computer-based NVS for wider dissemination Platform development for other linguistic minority groups Developmental steps for health literacy mechanisms and interventions for Deaf ASL users Rochester Prevention Research Center National Center for Deaf Health Research
