Hello, future neighbours Do you happen to know anyone who has type 2 diabetes? I need two or three more people to make my total of five, to interview for linguistic validation of a questionnaire – a fancy professional term that means they fill it out (but their answers are not recorded, nor is their identity) and tell me what they understand each question to mean and whether they think the wording could be improved. There’s a voucher in it for them, and most people who have done this for previous projects have enjoyed it. I go to their place or we meet in a café or somewhere else that is convenient. If we can’t find enough people in Dunedin/Otago, then it can be people elsewhere in NZ as long as they can video chat with me by some means. They must be native speakers of NZ English and can be any age, occupation and sex, but not a health professional. If you know someone, could you please forward this to them, or give them my details? It’s getting urgent now as Diabetes Otago were reluctant to facilitate.
Many thanks! Claire Loftus Language Validation Consultant for Mapi/Icon (There’s a fact sheet available for download here: https://www.iconplc.com/services/commercialisation-and-outcomes/language-ser...)
