NDRI
National Development and Research Institutes, Inc. (NDRI) is a non-profit
research and educational organization founded in 1967. The mission of NDRI
is to advance knowledge in the areas of substance abuse, mental health, HIV/AIDS,
and other related social and health concerns.
Deaf
Research Projects
The Deaf Research Projects at NDRI study health and social problems that affect
individuals who are Deaf and the Deaf community. We conduct surveys in American
Sign Language (ASL), often on laptop computers. The purpose of these surveys
is to gather information on what many Deaf people think about topics such
as HIV/AIDS, drug abuse, smoking, and mental health.
Use
of Research Findings
The information we gather can then be used by organizations that provide services
to people who are Deaf for treatment, prevention, and development of necessary
services.
Deaf
AIDS Project
The Deaf AIDS Project is conducting a survey of individuals who are Deaf about
their HIV/AIDS knowledge, attitudes, and behaviors. The survey is in ASL with
captions on laptop computers. The
survey will be conducted at arranged sites in the New York Metro area and
other locations in order for a wide variety of individuals who are Deaf to
participate.
