Description: The goal of the learning modules is to focus on different aspects of public health, including considerations for interpreters working as a team to meet the needs of varied and diverse patients.

Learning Objectives: 

After completing the set of learning modules, participants will be able to:

• Identify contributing social determinants of health in the deaf community.
• Analyze current accessibility challenges in public health.
• Evaluate progress toward addressing health disparities.
• Propose additional strategies for ASL interpreters’ roles in creating an equitable public health approach.
