The Effectiveness of a Tailored Nutritional Education Program on Profound Hearing Impairment Adults
Sponsor: King Saud University
Summary
Literature suggests that profound hearing-impaired people have poor access to health care directly related to communication difficulties. A lack of knowledge regarding health and healthy dietary patterns has been documented. Several associations between chronic diseases such as obesity, CVD, hyperlipidemia etc., and hearing impairments have been established. There is a gap in the literature for studies that use Saudi-sign language-tailored programs in patient health and nutrition education. This project aims to create a Saudi-sign language general nutritional education program and then test its effectiveness in enhancing the nutritional status and knowledge of Saudis with profound hearing impairments.
