Key message
The Norwegian National Knowledge Centre for the Health Services was requested by Oslo University Hospital, Klinikk Psykisk Helse og Avhengighet, to perform a literature search. The commission was to find research publications about deaf or hearing impaired addicts in addiction or drug abuse treatment. We searched Medline, Embase and the Cochrane Library in July 2010 and found 1135 research references. After removal of duplicates there were 749 references. Two authors, independently, judged the material in accordance with the predefined inclusion criteria. Twenty references were included. No quality assessment or data extraction was performed.
