Researchers developed an Interactive Video-Questionnaire to overcome substance abuse survey challenges for Deaf individuals. This technology presents questions in American Sign Language and Signed English, improving data collection accessibility.

Area of Science:

  • Health Services Research
  • Human-Computer Interaction
  • Linguistics

Background:

  • Traditional survey methods face significant barriers when interviewing Deaf populations, particularly on sensitive topics like substance abuse.
  • Previous attempts to adapt standard questionnaires for Deaf individuals proved insufficient, necessitating innovative approaches.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop and refine an Interactive Video-Questionnaire (IVQ) system for effective interviewing of Deaf persons.
  • To address the limitations of existing survey methodologies for substance abuse research within the Deaf community.

Main Methods:

  • Utilized a videodisc and barcode reader system to present questions in American Sign Language (ASL) and Signed English.
  • Incorporated feedback from Deaf participants to iteratively improve the survey method.

  • Developed an interactive multimedia program with ASL, Signed English, and speechreading options, including English subtitles and touchscreen data entry.

    • Main Results:

    • Initial videodisc method identified limitations requiring refinement.
    • The enhanced interactive multimedia program successfully integrated multiple presentation formats (ASL, Signed English, speechreading) and input methods (touchscreen).
    • Automatic data capture and storage were implemented for efficient data management.

    Conclusions:

    • The Interactive Video-Questionnaire represents a significant advancement in accessible survey technology for Deaf individuals.
    • This technology has broad potential applications in research and data collection involving the Deaf community.
    • The IVQ system effectively addresses communication barriers in surveys, particularly for sensitive health-related topics.
