Recent papers with perspectives on CORE translations (3): Evans, Paz, and Mascialino 2021- can we need more than one translation into the same target language?!

31/12/2024 / By Chris Evans

I am coming back to this theme within my CORE work: how issues about translating measures, particularly mental health & well-being self-report questionnaires are not trivial. This post is the first of two looking at when linguistic variations within a target language, usually between countries, are such that they will impact on score comparability and […]

What to blog where? … and the GP-CORE

10/12/2019 / By Chris Evans

It arose from an Email question that came to me here and it’s origins are in the GP-CORE, but in the end I decided the main content was personal and not CORE, but that it
