Note. DHH, deaf or hard of hearing; ns, not significant; SE, standard error; YQoL-R, Youth Quality of Life-Revised; YQoL-DHH, Youth Quality of Life—Deaf and Hard-of-Hearing.

a

Adjusted for age, parent hearing status, mode of communication, and reported depression symptoms (CDI-S score).

b

YQoL_DHH-perceived stigma: Higher scores are associated with greater perceived stigma. To remedy highly skewed perceived stigma data, a constant of 1 was added to bring all data to nonzero value and log-transformation method was applied to positive scores prior to model analysis, and adjusted geometric means are obtained by back-transformation.

c

Adjusted geometric means.
