Volunteers needed for BSL translation project

In a project by the British Society for Mental Health and Deafness, the University of Manchester is looking for deaf volunteers to take part in a pilot study testing BSL versions of three questionnaires. The questionnaires, which can be filled in on-line and should take about 15-20 minutes, are about well-being. A £15 voucher is being offered as a thank you for taking part. The questionnaires are commonly used in counselling and mental health services with hearing people but it would be very helpful if they could also be used with deaf people. This research has produced BSL versions, but now they need to be tested by deaf people filling them in.

Participants must be deaf British Sign Language users who are over 16 years old. To take part, go online to complete the questionnaires at www.manchester.ac.uk/bsl-iapt-translation/moreinformationfordeafpeople/ If you would like to know more about this, there is information in BSL at www.manchester.ac.uk/bsl-iapt-translation or you can email katherine.rogers@manchester.ac.uk
