Insights from Research on Cross-Cultural Validation of Health-Related Questionnaires: The Role of Bilingual Project Workers and Lay Participants
This article discusses the recruitment and training of bilingual project workers and their role in data gathering; the level of comprehension of the interviewees with regard to the nature of the task and its alien nature; the contribution of social customs and expectations; the vagaries of language; the researchers' level of comprehension of data collected across a range of languages; the feelings of loss of control by the researchers over the re…
Cross-cultural adaptation of a tobacco questionnaire for Punjabi, Cantonese, Urdu and Sylheti speakers: Qualitative research for better clinical practice, cessation services and research: Table 1

They have uncovered a clear class gradient in smoking prevalence, with high socio-economic status associated with low smoking prevalence. These surveys rely on a particular set of procedures to determine the socio-economic position of women. The paper enters a caveat about these procedu…

Building alliances: Professional and political issues in community participation. Examples from a health and community development project
The notion of community participation in health finds favour in many circles, since, lacking close definition, it can be interpreted in such a way as to be acceptable to all political persuasions. This paper explores some of the consequences of these multiple interpretations and gives examples from a community development and health promotion project in Scotland. Professional attitudes and behaviour and bureaucratic structures are seen as signifi…
