NELS ICE Investigator, Victor Maddalena, looked at palliative care in Newfoundland's deaf community. One of the outcomes of the research, based on the feedback from the Deaf community, was the need for more information for Deaf people (and their caregivers) on navigating through the maze of terminal illness and end of life.
As a result, a video was created in American Sign Language (and voice) that walks through the steps of getting the diagnosis, treatment options, palliative care, death and bereavement care. (Part 1 of 5)
