Self-Reported Well-Being and Health Among Deaf and Hard-of-Hearing Adolescents in Mainstream Schools: A Swedish School Survey Study
The findings highlight substantial health disparities among adolescents with hearing loss in mainstream schools, especially among those with additional disabilities. Perceived teacher support emerged as an important contextual factor and may represent a key target for school-based interventions aimed at promoting well-being and mental health among DHH adolescents.
