Our Linguistic Validation services verify that translation of all items are interpreted in the same way in Korean and have the same content validity. You can be sure that measurement properties of the items will be the same as in English source version of the instrument, that data can be validly pooled across the two international sites and that the process will meet FDA and EMEA guidelines.
Linguistic Validation
OLT provides fully compliant Linguistic Validation and Cultural Adaptation services, including Cognitive Debriefing. We ensure that your eCOA is both culturally appropriate and conceptually equivalent in both Source English and the target language of Korean.
This is crucial to ensure that content validity is not affected by translation, and that data can be pooled across different sites.
