\nREADY stands for Recording Emerging Adulthood in Deaf Youth.\u00a0This is a research study following over 500 young deaf people from a wide variety of backgrounds living in England, Scotland or Wales. Aged at least 16 at the point they join the study, they will be contacted each year for five years.<\/p>\n
The results will help us to understand better how to support young deaf people to achieve their goals on their way to becoming independent adults.<\/p>\n

The READY Study will follow at least 500 young deaf people over five years to find out more about the varied pathways they take after the age of 16. This includes discovering what influences their choices and opportunities and what kinds of outcomes they achieve. By \u2018deaf\u2019 we mean any young person with any degree or kind of permanent deafness or hearing loss. These young people may or may not use hearing technologies such as hearing aids or cochlear implants and some of them will be sign language users.<\/p>\n
The kinds of outcomes The READY Study will record are not just those associated with education or employment. We are also interested in how young people\u2019s social networks and friendship groups may change, their wellbeing and what helps in achieving independence and making life choices they are happy with. The results of the study will be invaluable for service providers, parents\/families and young deaf people themselves in understanding what can make a positive difference on the pathway from childhood to adulthood.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Young deaf people may enter the study when they are 16, 17, 18 or 19 years old (right up to their 20th<\/sup> birthday). 15 year olds may also be able to join, providing they turn 16 before our recruitment phase closes. They are contacted once every year for five years to complete a survey and take some short tests. Up to 50 participants will also be invited to take part in a short interview. Participation in all parts of the study is offered in:<\/p>\n <\/p>\n\n
