HIV/AIDS Knowledge and Information Sources among Deaf and Hard of Hearing College Students.

Heuttel, Kristin L.; Rothstein, William G.

American Annals of the Deaf, v146 n3 p280-86 Jul 2001

A study of 34 undergraduates with deafness and 46 typical undergraduates found students with deafness had significantly lower scores on an "HIV/AIDS Knowledge Index" than the hearing students. The students with deafness obtained more of their information about HIV/AIDS from family and friends than hearing students. (Contains references.) (Author/CR)
