RCR: Promoting Multilingual Research Methods

Presented by Maya Ragavan, MD, MPH, MS, Associate Professor of Pediatrics, University of Pittsburgh   

This session will provide an introduction to including communities whose primary language is not English into research. Inclusion of non-English speaking communities is essential to promoting health equity and ensuring that our work centers the perspectives of the growing immigrant and non-English speaking communities in Pittsburgh. Objectives of this RCR include: 1) understanding the inclusion of non-English speaking communities into clinical and translational research; 2) reviewing best practices for translations; and 3) building bilingual and bicultural research teams.
