Deaf and Hard of Hearing College Students and Alcohol Use

Presented By: Dr. Christine Gannon Session Slides: https://hecaod.osu.edu/wp-content/upl... Alcohol misuse on college campuses has been shown to be the cause of physical, socio-emotional, and academic harm. Alcohol is also an issue for deaf, deafblind, and hard of hearing (DDBHH) students. Similar to hearing students, DDBHH students may experience the “college effect” of increased alcohol use upon arrival. In addition, there are other factors unique to being DDBHH that may impact alcohol use. This presentation will highlight data found from a qualitative case study which explored staff and students’ perceptions and experiences of alcohol use. The presenter will also explore how alcohol use may be different or similar for DDBHH students who are in predominantly hearing university environments. Through this workshop, the presenter aims for participants to be able to use these insights to inform the inclusivity of interventions for deaf and hard of hearing college students, but also services for deaf and hard of hearing students in general and in the field of substance recovery.
