A Health Education Video for Deaf Women

This is a great film for anyone who cares about deaf women's health. The film features deaf actresses in most roles, including a deaf ob-gyn surgeon. Topics covered include puberty, menstruation and related hygiene, pregnancy and labor, pregnancy prevention, birth control methods, and sexually transmitted diseases including HIV and how to be tested for HIV. This video fills a major gap in health education materials for deaf women and/or families with deaf women. Families with deaf family members, interpreter training programs, deaf education settings, deaf service centers and healthcare providers will find this a helpful resource to have. [(2003) DVD: 62 minutes; ASL; English voice-over; open captioned] DVDs and videotapes not returnable once opened.
