The Deaf Childhood Experiences Scale (DCES) aims to provide empirical data on uniquely deaf life factors with the long-term goal of better understanding education, health, and quality of life outcomes among deaf populations. The methodology involved a mixed-methods approach of qualitative interviews with deaf community members to inform the creation of a quantitative assessment. This first version of the DCES comprises two main constructs\u2014Language and Access, and Belonging\u2014and was validated against Adverse Childhood Experiences questions, revealing a weak but significant correlation (r(568)\u2009=\u2009.18, p\u2009=\u2009&amp;lt;\u2009.001). The DCES offers a novel approach to better measure, and eventually understand the impact of, childhood experiences of deaf people that are likely salient for quality of life outcomes. Future work includes more validation efforts, plans for American sign language translation, parent and teacher versions, and further item revisions.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1093\/jdsade\/enaf029","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2025,6,11]],"date-time":"2025-06-11T20:02:26Z","timestamp":1749672146000},"page":"SI129-SI137","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["Preliminary development of the deaf childhood experiences scale"],"prefix":"10.1093","volume":"30","author":[{"given":"Wyatte C","family":"Hall","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Public Health Sciences, University of Rochester Medical Center , Rochester, New York,","place":["United States"]}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Jon","family":"Henner","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"University of North Carolina Department of Specialized Education Services, , Greensboro , North Carolina,","place":["United States"]}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Timothy D V","family":"Dye","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Obstetrics & Gynecology , New York, Rochester,","place":["United States"]}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"286","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2025,6,11]]},"reference":[{"issue":"1","key":"2025073109515022700_ref1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"1","DOI":"10.1187\/cbe.15-07-0155","article-title":"The deaf mentoring survey: A community cultural wealth framework for measuring mentoring effectiveness with underrepresented students","volume":"16","author":"Braun","year":"2017","journal-title":"CBE Life Sciences Education"},{"key":"2025073109515022700_ref2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"1","DOI":"10.1080\/09687599.2024.2369649","article-title":"Defining hearing culture in context of deaf culture: A grounded theory examination","author":"Cue","year":"2024","journal-title":"Disability & Society"},{"issue":"4","key":"2025073109515022700_ref3","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"245","DOI":"10.1016\/s0749-3797(98)00017-8","article-title":"Relationship of childhood abuse and household dysfunction to many of the leading causes of death in adults.
