Studies in Languages Other Than English in the United States and Studies in Other Countries
Social & Scientific Systems has designed and coordinated studies administered in a variety of languages other than English, including Spanish language studies in the United States. We also provide support for studies in other countries, most recently in Mexico, China, and Norway. This support includes the design and translation of protocols and bilingual forms for data and specimen collection, training and support of international project staff, site visits, arranging of shipping and communication systems, supervision of international subcontracts, and processing of data and specimens. For U.S. studies in Spanish, see Effects of Chronic Occupational Exposures to Pesticides on Neurological Function in Farmworkers (Workers' Health) and references to the Spanish language component of the Sister Study: Genetic and Environmental Risk Factors for Breast Cancer. For coordination of studies in other countries, see Pregnancy, Heredity, and Environment.
