创建双语研究协议的双重重点方法需要一个双语/双文化研究团队，包括来自所研究文化的土著研究人员。土著研究人员作为研究团队的正式和平等成员的存在可以防止在一种文化中发展起来的思想和方法未经审查地输出到其他文化/语言社区。研究小组制定了研究计划和研究协议，以两种语言同时以相同的清晰度，影响和使用水平表达给定的概念。双焦点方法采用概念驱动而不是翻译驱动的方法来实现概念和语言的等效。应用这种方法创建西班牙语和英语的新测量方法的例子，调整现有的测量方法，修改研究参与者的说明，并提供纠正官方翻译。
The dual-focus approach to creating bilingual research protocols requires a bilingual/bicultural research team, including indigenous researchers from the cultures being studied, The presence of indigenous researchers as full and equal members of the research team can guard against an unexamined exportation of ideas and methods developed in one culture to other cultural/linguistic communities, The team develops the research plan and a research protocol that express a given concept with equal clarity, affect, and level of usage simultaneously in two languages, The dual-focus method employs a concept-driven rather than a translation-driven approach to attain conceptual and linguistic equivalence, Examples of the application of this approach to creating new measures in Spanish and English, adapting existing measures, revising instructions to research participants, and correcting official translations are provided.
