Prevalence of Educationally Significant Disabilities Among Deaf and Hard of Hearing Students
Am Ann Deaf. 2023;167(5):583-596. doi: 10.1353/aad.2023.0001.ABSTRACTDeaf and hard of hearing (d/DHH) students are often labeled with one or more educationally significant disabilities in addition to their hearing loss.

Comparative analysis of village doctors' relative deprivation: based on two cross-sectional surveys
CONCLUSIONS: As time goes by, village doctors fail to reach the expected level in terms of economic income, social status, professional reputation and living standards, resulting in a sense of relative deprivation. This may have a negative impact on village doctors' work motivation and behavior, and will fail to guarantee the sustainability of the team. We should pay attention to this unbalanced mentality of village doctors.PMID:38664696 | DOI:10.1186/s12875-024-02385-6 (Source: Primary Care)

Invited Article-It's Time to Rethink Our Future: "Radical" Perspectives on Deaf Education in the United States and Beyond
Am Ann Deaf. 2023;167(5):597-604. doi: 10.1353/aad.2023.0002.ABSTRACTThe language wars have driven decision-making and educational options for D/deaf and hard of hearing children for over a century, yet we still have not made sufficient progress in closing the linguistic and educational gaps between D/deaf and hard of hearing children and their hearing peers. Perhaps it is time to abandon the bifurcated approach that has driven our field since the infamous Milan Conference of 1880. This commentary explores how a "Radical Middle" approach can frame the way we prepare teachers of the deaf, how we conduct and disseminate rese...
