"Title of Project: Characterizing Spanish-English-ASL video relay interpreting"
Responsible Principal Investigator: David Quinto-Pozos, Ph.D.
 
Saludos/Greetings everyone,
 
Your participation is being requested for a research survey about the developing field of Trilingual Interpreters and interpretation. The research survey is for Trilingual Interpreters, and D/HH and hearing consumers of trilingual interpretation services. The Trilingual Committee is forwarding this to SCRID members. In the event that you or anyone you know meets the criteria, the participant could take the survey or pass on the information. The surveys are anonymous and for the purpose of collecting data. The deadline to submit your survey is in mid-January. The following is a brief description of the Survey taken from the consent document:

 
“If you have participated in Video Relay Service (VRS) calls, either as a Deaf, hard-of-hearing, or hearing client or a sign language interpreter for such calls, your participation in a research study is being requested. The principal investigator is David Quinto-Pozos, Ph.D., Assistant Professor in the Department of Speech and Hearing Science at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign. You must be at least 18 years of age to participate in this study.
The purpose of this study is to obtain information about English-Spanish-ASL Video Relay Service (VRS) interpreting. Through this study, we plan to collect information (through a phone survey and written surveys) about Spanish-English-ASL VRS interpreting from TRS providers, Deaf, hearing, and hard-of-hearing clients who are served on video relay calls, and interpreters who provide services. The collected information will be disseminated through various means in order to support training and policy decisions about VRS interpretation as an important resource in the United States Deaf community.

If you consent to participate, you will be asked to complete a questionnaire about some of your experiences with Spanish-English-ASL VRS interpreting. It is anticipated that this questionnaire will require approximately 15-20 minutes of your time.”
