Cardiovascular disease [CVD] is the leading cause of death in the United States [U.S.] (REF), and disproportionally affects Deaf and Hard of Hearing [DHOH] population. It is statistically unknown what percentage of the DHOH in the U.S. population affected by CVD. As it estimate of two million people living in the U.S. are deaf (Pick, 2013) and costly $30 billion in relevant treatment/care (Zazove & Doukas, 1994). Deaf and Hard of Hearing people faced communication barriers. This is due to the inability access to health information, insufficient English proficiency, inability to gain access to health education programs (McKee et al., 2011), and inability to communicate directly with their doctors (Margellos-Anast, Estarziau, & Kaufman, 2006).

affected by CVD. For this cause, the empirical research of interest to examine the communication barriers in the healthcare system that affects a DHOH person. The unit of analysis to examine the aspect of this research study as it relates to communication barriers associated risk factors are Chi-square, T-test, logistic regression, standard deviation, mean, mode, and median. These units revolve around the possible research question, is communication barriers a risk factor for Cardiovascular Diseases in the Deaf and Hard of Hearing Communities? The unit analysis taken from the NHANES database will compare against the hearing population to see if there are any significant differences because of communication. The ability to evaluate communication barriers in the DHOH population against the hearing population is vital to avoid bias judgment in ecological and/or individualistic fallacies. As it is of the assumption that communication is the explanation that restricts access to receiving proper health information and …show more content…
For each hypothesis, identify the independent, dependent, and control variables. Moreover, estimate expected changes in the magnitude and relations between the dependent and independent
