Preliminary Validation of Stigma Measures Among Parents of Children Who Are d/Deaf or Hard of Hearing in the United States and Ghana
This study provides a set of preliminarily validated stigma measures to capture the experience of parents of children who are d/DHH. Measuring stigma among parents is critical to understanding parental mental health, as parental well-being affects the health and development of their child. Furthermore, measuring observed stigma by parents can allow the researcher to gain an understanding of the stigma experienced by children who are d/DHH that they may not be able to communicate. Further studies testing these measures across other countries and with more diverse samples are needed.
