My PhD research study is looking at genetic information in BSL - Deaf people's views on the format of information resources and the specific signs that they prefer and use. The aim is to find out more about the role of translation issues and communication within the barriers that exist in accessing information about genetics, genetic services and related areas of medicine.
I am seeking Deaf people over the age of 18 to take part in the study - all the information is on the website, people can decide to take part by completing the online consent form and then they can reply in BSL using a webcam (or in English if they prefer). The website is at http://www.mhs.manchester.ac.uk/geneticsigns and is open now.
With best wishes,
Rachel
