What is linguistic Validation?

Linguistic validation is an essential process for ensuring the accuracy and cultural appropriateness of translated materials, particularly in the field of research and healthcare. When adapting content for Arabic-speaking audiences, several key steps must be taken to achieve a linguistically validated translation. These steps include forward translation, back translation, expert review, cognitive debriefing, and finalization. By following this structured approach, organizations can ensure the effective communication of their content to Arabic-speaking users while maintaining the integrity of the original information.

About Valitracks Software

Which clinical trial materials require Arabic linguistic validation?

In clinical trials, Clinical Outcome Assessments (COAs) are the primary content necessitating comprehensive Arabic linguistic validation. COAs support clinical trial endpoints, making translation quality, accuracy, and equivalency in Arabic crucial.

COAs consist of various measures:

Patient-reported outcomes (PROs) – Outcomes directly reported by patients about their health status in Arabic, typically through self-assessment reports or interviews.
Clinician-reported outcomes (ClinROs) – Measures provided by Arabic-speaking healthcare professionals based on patient observation, clinical findings, and interpretation.
Observer-reported outcomes (ObsROs) – Outcomes reported by Arabic-speaking individuals close to the patient, such as caregivers or parents.
Performance outcomes (PerfOs) – Measurements based on a patient’s performance in completing specific tasks following particular instructions in Arabic.

Additionally, other types of clinical content may benefit from Arabic linguistic validation, either in full or by incorporating the selected workflow steps mentioned above. Examples include patient enrollment brochures and forms for clinical trials, product information sheets, and more, all tailored for Arabic-speaking audiences.
