PROJECT SUMMARY/ABSTRACT Addressing a paucity of training in multilingual research methods, we propose a unique, short-term education program to provide child health researchers with the sensitivity, skills, and knowledge to recruit and engage Limited English Proficiency (LEP) children and families in research. In the US there are approximately 7.8 million children and adolescents with no English-proficient parents. These children and youth are disproportionately excluded from child health research because of language barriers, and this threatens both the validity and the generalizability of research findings. It also raises difficult questions regarding adherence to the ethical principle of justice and the Civil Rights Act. And because Latino and Asian children are disproportionately affected by language barriers, lack of preparation to conduct multilingual research is also a barrier to adherence to the NIH policy regarding the inclusion of minorities as subjects in clinical research. To address this gap, we propose a training program with three components: First, we will offer a 3-day virtual workshop including hands-on training sessions with expert medical interpreters; orientation to an anthropological understanding of language and communication; practice in the development of multilingual enrollment and study instruments; and attention to team-building and budgeting for language resources. Second, we will deliver monthly webinars to address specific, practical issues that arise in the experience of trainees following the short course, e.g., writing for peer review. Third, we will create opportunities for participants to convene, network, and engage in professional development—e.g., by collaborating on conference workshop submissions and holding monthly, virtual works-in-progress—to build an intellectual community for multilingual child health research. These activities will be led by seasoned researchers, educators, and professional interpreters from Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia, University of Pennsylvania, and Pennsylvania State University, in collaboration with senior researchers from the project’s Invited Faculty and Advisory Committee. The short course will be appropriate for graduate, postdoctoral, and other child health investigators, including early and mid-career faculty, with prior research methods/design training and who are seeking specialized training in multilingual methods. By training and supporting a cohort of investigators, we hope to help transform the practice of child health research by making inclusion of LEP children and families the norm rather than the exception. We also hope to support the career development of multilingual investigators from underrepresented backgrounds by providing them with the training and tools to leverage their language skills for rigorous and reproducible research and grant-seeking. Ultimately, we believe this short course will enhance the equity, quality, and impact of child health research, leading to better health outcomes for children in the US and around the world.

项目概要/摘要 针对多语言研究方法培训匮乏的问题，我们提出了独特的短期教育 为儿童健康研究人员提供招募和参与的敏感性、技能和知识的计划 研究中英语水平有限 (LEP) 的儿童和家庭。在美国大约有 7.8 数百万儿童和青少年没有精通英语的父母。这些儿童和青少年是 由于语言障碍，儿童健康研究被不成比例地排除在外，这对双方都构成威胁 研究结果的有效性和普遍性。它还提出了有关遵守的难题 正义的道德原则和民权法案。因为拉丁裔和亚洲儿童 受到语言障碍的影响尤为严重，缺乏进行多语言研究的准备也是一个问题 遵守 NIH 关于将少数族裔作为临床研究对象的政策的障碍。 为了弥补这一差距，我们提出了一个包含三个组成部分的培训计划：首先，我们将提供为期 3 天的虚拟培训 讲习班，包括由医学口译专家主持的实践培训课程；定向到 对语言和交流的人类学理解；多语言开发实践 入学和学习工具；并关注团队建设和语言资源预算。 其次，我们将每月举办一次网络研讨会，以解决在经验中出现的具体实际问题。 参加短期课程的学员，例如为同行评审写作。第三，我们将创造机会 参与者召集、建立联系并参与专业发展——例如，通过合作 会议研讨会提交并每月举行一次虚拟的正在进行中的工作——以建立一个知识分子 多语言儿童健康研究社区。这些活动将由经验丰富的研究人员领导， 宾夕法尼亚大学费城儿童医院的教育工作者和专业口译员， 和宾夕法尼亚州立大学，与该项目特邀教师的高级研究人员合作 和咨询委员会。短期课程适合研究生、博士后和其他儿童 健康调查员，包括早期和中期职业教师，接受过先前的研究方法/设计培训，并且 正在寻求多语言方法专门培训的人。 通过培训和支持一组研究人员，我们希望帮助改变儿童健康实践 研究将 LEP 儿童和家庭纳入常态而不是例外。我们也希望 通过提供以下内容，支持来自代表性不足背景的多语言调查人员的职业发展 为他们提供培训和工具，以利用他们的语言技能进行严格且可重复的研究 寻求资助。最终，我们相信这个短期课程将提高儿童的公平性、质量和影响力 健康研究，为美国和世界各地的儿童带来更好的健康结果。
