“…Within the Q-DIS-III-R, videoclips were inserted so that participants could interact with the computerized video translations. This multimedia package (signs + printed English) was found to be an effective way to administer the scales (Steinberg, Lipton, Eckhardt, Goldstein & Sullivan, 1998). Each of these ASL instrument developers pointed out the difficulties in translating their professional discipline's English vocabulary and idioms to ASL, the importance of using deaf focus groups to ensure cultural and linguistic alignment and content validity, and the use of translators who were knowledgeable about their respective disciplines to administer the translated tests.…”

The Miranda Warning and Waiver ASL (MWWT-ASL) is a bilingual test constructed and administered to three groups of deaf adults in postsecondary education (n = 34) who differed on bilingual (ASL/ English) proficiency, IQ, and number of years using sign language. The deaf adults read the MWW in English print and viewed it on a DVD as the Miranda was translated into ASL by a certified legal interpreter. Participants' retelling tasks were videotaped. The videotapes were then transcribed and back-translated into English, compared to the Miranda rights in English, and scored on a five-point scale (0-4).Age, IQ, reported years of using sign language, and English-reading grade level were found to be strongly and positively correlated to retelling scores on the MWWT-ASL. Further, findings revealed that deaf adults who are reading at the eighth-grade level or below would be linguistically incompetent to understand the Miranda warning and waiver even if it is presented in both ASL and English.

“…In research with the Deaf, this can mean translating informed consent documents into the participants' native language, such as ASL. A study that used a computerized self-administered instrument to assess mental health provides an example of this kind of procedure (Eckhardt, Steinberg, Lipton, Montoya & Goldstein, 1999;Steinberg, Lipton, Eckhardt, Goldstein & Sullivan, 1998). In some cases, information from the informed consent was signed in ASL by a member of the research team and each participant was asked to communicate the information back in ASL, all in the presence of a witness fluent in ASL to insure that the potential participant had understood the content of the consent form.…”

Although social work and related fields need more research involving people with disabilities, such studies can pose special challenges due to lack of understanding of disability issues, the disempowerment and invisibility of many who are disabled, and communication barriers. This article discusses ways of eliminating bias and maintaining ethical safeguards when designing and conducting research on people with disabilities. Participatory action research, which engages those studied in the design and conduct of research, is discussed as a model, as is the use of qualitative methods. Recent methodological innovations in survey research with deaf populations are also described and illustrated.

“…Sign languages share many linguistic characteristics with spoken languages, but also have characteristics that are specific to the manual-visual modality [20,21]. Most deaf adults use written language and consider it their second language; however, a considerable percentage of congenitally deaf people struggle with written texts [22,23]. …”

Psychometric properties of a sign language version of the Mini International Neuropsychiatric Interview (MINI)

et al. 2014

BackgroundThere is a need for psychiatric assessment instruments that enable reliable diagnoses in persons with hearing loss who have sign language as their primary language. The objective of this study was to assess the validity of the Norwegian Sign Language (NSL) version of the Mini International Neuropsychiatric Interview (MINI).MethodsThe MINI was translated into NSL. Forty-one signing patients consecutively referred to two specialised psychiatric units were assessed with a diagnostic interview by clinical experts and with the MINI. Inter-rater reliability was assessed with Cohen’s kappa and “observed agreement”.ResultsThere was 65% agreement between MINI diagnoses and clinical expert diagnoses. Kappa values indicated fair to moderate agreement, and observed agreement was above 76% for all diagnoses. The MINI diagnosed more co-morbid conditions than did the clinical expert interview (mean diagnoses: 1.9 versus 1.2). Kappa values indicated moderate to substantial agreement, and “observed agreement” was above 88%.ConclusionThe NSL version performs similarly to other MINI versions and demonstrates adequate reliability and validity as a diagnostic instrument for assessing mental disorders in persons who have sign language as their primary and preferred language.
