“…Finally, incorporating longform recording methodologies into participatory research models could also lead to more direct benefits for the communities being studied (Gehlert & Mozersky, 2018). Community-based participatory research seeks to center the needs and interests of the community when setting the research agenda (Luo et al, 2019). Thus, community members help generate research questions, recruit other participants, and analyze data.…”

Recent advances in large-scale data storage and processing offer unprecedented opportunities for behavioral scientists to collect and analyze naturalistic data, including from under-represented groups. Audio data, particularly real-world audio recordings, are of particular interest to behavioral scientists because they provide high-fidelity access to subtle aspects of daily life and social interactions. However, these methodological advances pose novel risks to research participants and communities. In this article, we outline the benefits and challenges associated with collecting, analyzing, and sharing multi-hour audio recording data. Guided by the principles of autonomy, privacy, beneficence, and justice, we propose a set of ethical guidelines for the use of longform audio recordings in behavioral research. This article is also accompanied by an Open Science Framework Ethics Repository that includes informed consent resources such as frequent participant concerns and sample consent forms.

“…These steps were performed in the Duet Study prior to translation. The original Duet modules were created through a community-based participatory research project partnering with the Maternity Care Coalition to recruit participants (Luo et al, 2019). Most families who participated in its inception were Black/African American (41%) or Hispanic (46%).…”

“…Researchers from the Duet team worked with the Maternity Care Coalition (MCC), a local home-visiting program, to identify evidence-based principles of early language interaction, co-construct the Duet goals, and build the modules. Caregivers from the community were also included in this initial step, 23% of whom spoke Spanish predominately (Luo et al, 2019). The modules focus on five key principles: General Awareness, Creating Opportunities, Conversational Duets, Scaffolding, and Harmonizing (see Table 2; Alper et al, under review 1 ; Luo et al, 2019).…”

Beyond Translation: Caregiver Collaboration in Adapting an Early Language Intervention

Spanish-speaking families in the United States must often overcome multiple challenges to support their young children’s early language development (e.g., language and cultural barriers, financial stress, limited learning resources, etc.). These challenges highlight the need for early language interventions tailored to the needs of Spanish-speaking families and developed in collaboration with them. For diverse populations, early language interventions which are both translated into the relevant language and culturally responsive are the most effective for improving child outcomes. However, few interventions meet both criteria, demonstrating a need for materials that are accessible across both language and culture. The current study describes the five-phase process of creating a linguistically and culturally relevant Spanish adaptation of Duet, an early language intervention. The adaptation of the Duet intervention modules involved multiple language experts, including Spanish-speaking developmental psychologists, a translation company, and Spanish-speaking caregivers of infants and toddlers. Fourteen caregivers were recruited to participate in two, 3-h focus groups. Input from caregivers was a particularly important step in the adaptation process, as caregivers hold knowledge about everyday experiences with their children. Through this process, the authors aim to shed light onto the importance of collaborating with the community and present a possible framework for others who are adapting interventions.
