Using translation or an interpreter when taking part in research

  • 21st August 2026

ave you, or someone you know, needed translated information or an interpreter for a research study? If so, researchers from the University of Bristol would like to interview you online or in-person about your experiences.

Information about the project

Taking part in research sometimes can be difficult if people do not share a common language. Often language support is given through translated written information and/or an interpreter.

It’s not known how much these services are being used in research, if they work well or what the peoples’ experiences are. This is what researchers want to find out in the INVITE study to help make sure everyone has a chance to take part in research.

Information about taking part

  • You will receive a £25 voucher to say thank you.
  • An interpreter can be provided for the interview.
  • The interview will last no longer than than one hour but can be shorter if you prefer.

If you would like to talk about maybe taking part in an interview, please contact the team using whichever way is easiest for you.

The team can translate any e-mails/ text messages so please contact them  in a language which is easiest for you.
