Cognitive debriefings are a crucial step in the linguistic validation process. They test whether your materials are clear, particularly in patient-reported outcomes (PROs). Do real people – in the real world – understand them? It’s more than a formality. It’s about confidence.

Stay in safe hands

Cognitive debriefings are more than just a checkbox, they’re a safeguard. So we balance making your materials scientifically rigorous with making them understandable. Move forward with confidence. And know that your patient feedback will be consistent, meaningful, and measurable.

Real patients, real insights

We recruit native-speaking clinicians and patients from your target demographic to review your instruments. Discover how they interpret the wording of questions and response options. And reveal hidden ambiguities, misleading phrasing, and any cultural nuances that could affect the meaning.

Ready for audit, rich in insights

We’ve helped with cognitive debriefing studies across a range of therapeutic areas and languages. Our team handles it all, from recruiting the participants to creating the final report.
