Hey guys! I'm doing a research project for my translation class and I need some volunteers to answer some questions for me about their job. It is fairly specific, so bear with me.

I'm looking for medical interpreters who have worked with clinically depressed patients in a psychology environment. The survey is tailored exclusively for interpreters, so no patient info is needed. My research is looking into the psychological impact on interpreters after providing service to depressed patients and whether or not preventative measures used today can be improved upon to minimize its effects, if any.

Here is the survey: https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSceY7txQwvbkjSo0Xxx8EKuP64K-qS5C92BRSAm_DsVzbbOmA/viewform?usp=pp_url

Thank you! ▲ Collapse

Hello,

I've taken a look at your survey and would like to make one or two suggestions. I've compiled surveys for study/research and so have experience of knowing how important feedback is.

Further, as this is a matter of language study, then your English has to be clear.

Hello,

I've taken a look at your survey and would like to make one or two suggestions. I've compiled surveys for study/research and so have experience of knowing how important feedback is. Questions must be absolutely clear so that you ask the question you mean to ask and so that respondents will be able to reply with accuracy. Further, as this is a matter of language study, then your English has to be clear.

You may like to consider the following:

- In the first question, “in” appears at the start and the end. You do not need both.
- You ask whether I use the first or the third person, but it is not clear what you mean. What circumstances/situation do you have in mind? Do you mean when addressing the patient?
- When you refer to “measures against psychological impact”, do you mean of the interview on the patient, or of the situation on me as the interpreter?
- When you write “in accordance to the above question”, do you mean “with reference to the above question”? ▲ Collapse

Thank you for pointing those ambiguities out to me, I appreciate it. I've made some changes that I hope make it clearer as to what information I'm looking for.
