Having a good knowledge of family planning methods is vital for reducing maternal morbidity and
mortality resulting from unintended pregnancies and unsafe abortions. In this paper, we highlight deaf
people’s ability to discern various misconceptions about pregnancy, with the aim of assessing their level of
knowledge on pregnancy prevention methods. The article is derived from a sexual and reproductive health
(SRH) needs assessment involving participants residing in two cities and a senior high school in Ghana. The
needs assessment involved three focus groups with 26 participants, a survey with 152 respondents, and an
interview with one health professional. Apart from the health professional, all the remaining participants
were deaf people. Findings from the study indicated that more than half the participants lacked familiarity
with pregnancy prevention methods. The findings of this study confirm other studies that there is a general
lack of knowledge on SRH issues among deaf people in Ghana. Thus, although this study focused on
prevention of unwanted pregnancy, which is just one component of SRH issues, the study provides insights
into the broader SRH needs of the deaf community and calls for making these issues visible for policy-making.
