The dual - focus approach to creating bilingual research protocols requires a bilingual / bicultural research team, including indegenous researchers from the cultures being studied. The persence of indigenous researchers as full and equal members of the research team canguard against an unexamined exportation of ideas and methods developed in one culture to other cultural / linguistic communities. The team develops the research plan and a research protocol that express a given concept with equal clarity, affect and level of usage simultaneously in two languages. The dual - focus method employs a concept - driven rather than a translation - driven approach to attain conceptual and linguistic equivalence. Examples of the application of this approach to creating new measures in spanish and english, adapting existing measures, revising instructions to research participants, and correcting official translations are provided.
