While most research on transition outcomes focuses on education and employment, the transition to adulthood also includes social outcomes, such as group involvement and community service. The present study examined a broader set of outcomes for young deaf adults after postsecondary education. A secondary analysis of a large-scale data set, the National Longitudinal Transition Study (NLTS2), was conducted to compare the employment, income assistance, and social/community outcomes of three postsecondary education cohorts: graduates, noncompleters, and nonattendees. The findings indicate that young deaf adults with more postsecondary education have more positive outcomes, e.g., higher employment rates, higher wages, and greater civic and social participation. These findings further demonstrate the importance of postsecondary education for young deaf adults and can be used to inform transition planning for deaf students, supporting the need to consider exploration of various career pathways available through college or postsecondary career/technical education.

大学毕业后的生活：聋哑青年的就业、社会和社区成果。

虽然大多数关于过渡结果的研究都集中在教育和就业上，但成年过渡还包括社会结果，例如团体参与和社区服务。本研究检查了接受高等教育的年轻聋人的一系列更广泛的结果。对大型数据集国家纵向转型研究 (NLTS2) 进行了二次分析，以比较三个高等教育群体的就业、收入援助和社会/社区成果：毕业生、未完成者和未参加者。调查结果表明，受过高等教育的年轻聋人有更多的积极成果，例如更高的就业率、更高的工资以及更多的公民和社会参与。
