DEC Research Webinar: Advancing Cancer Screening Among Americans Who Use Sign Language

RESCHEDULED! Please join us on Thursday, September 3rd at 12:00 PM EST for a Research webinar: “Advancing Cancer Screening Among Americans Who Use Sign Language.”

Dr. Poorna Kushalnagar will present on a randomized trial that paired deaf, deafblind, and hard of hearing adults with remote ASL-fluent health navigators for up to 11 months of screening support. Screening completion reached 91% with a navigator versus 67% under standard care. The talk shares what worked, what was surprising, and where the model goes next.

Automated captioning and ASL interpretation will be provided. Please make any additional accommodations requests by Wednesday, August 26, 2026, to eve.schoenberg@nyulangone.org.
