Deaf and hard of hearing people are 67% more likely to experience an unplanned pregnancy, likely due to language barriers and education gaps. These unplanned pregnancies can come with negative health consequences such as not breastfeeding, fewer healthcare visits during the pregnancy, depression, intimate partner violence, and lack of healthy family planning for the next baby. Encouraging healthier family planning through health education not only empowers youth to make more conscious decisions about their health in general but may encourage healthier family planning and having children later in life, which is linked to longevity. This is an important public health issue that needs to begin with more accessible health education in deaf schools, that are already reporting issues with adequate resources. This project proposes challenging the status quo by developing a near peer health educator program because deaf youth and adults often prefer to get their health information from peers. This program will use a previously developed A-to-Z health book that was developed for deaf youth with their feedback. The average reading level for deaf readers is 5th-6th grade, so this book was authored with that in mind utilizing plain language and complementary illustrations. Deaf undergraduate students will be hired and trained as near peer health educators to provide health education to 8th-12th grade deaf students at a local Deaf school. After the successful implementation of this program, online certification can allow other Deaf K-12 schools to work with undergraduate students or community members.
