Welcome to the Childhood Deafness Research Network (CDRN). This group has come together after completing a James Lind Alliance (JLA) Priority Setting Partnership (PSP) in Childhood Deafness and Hearing Loss. During 2023 to 2025, we worked with a wide range of adults and children with experience or professional understanding of childhood deafness. Together, we have identified two lists of Top 10 research priorities. CDRN is the next step following the JLA PSP, with the aim of keeping these priorities at the forefront of research and turning them into tangible improvements through research.
Below you can find the links to the two top 10 reserach priority lists – one ranked by adults and one ranked by deaf children. You can also find a brief explanation of the PSP in this BSL video.
