We created the ASL Survey Tool, a platform designed to make and distribute surveys that use only signed video content and non-textual elements. With the goal of allowing signing users to actively participate in a survey using their primary language, we prioritized the experiences and opinions of the Deaf Community throughout the development process. Using the results of previous studies and feedback from our signing collaborators, we transformed existing prototypes into an ASL-centric survey website. We then conducted an unmoderated user study in ASL with the survey tool to assess its usability and the intricacies of the study process. This marked a crucial step in understanding the tool’s potential to increase the Deaf Community’s participation in research studies and beyond.
