Abstract:
The Youth Risk Behavior Survey (YRBS) has been used as a standard and updated as required for 15 years to measure risk behavior among American youth. This article discusses the modification and translation of the YRBS to be used to measure risk among youth in Thailand. The steps involved included not only modification and translation but also testing of cross-cultural equivalences (semantic, content, and conceptual) and assessment of feasibility and acceptability of the modified survey among adolescents in Thailand. The process is described and findings discussed.

01:31Translation
Translation is the process of synthesizing proteins from the genetic information carried by messenger RNA (mRNA). Following transcription, it constitutes the final step in the expression of genes. This process is carried out by ribosomes, complexes of protein and specialized RNA molecules. Ribosomes, transfer RNA (tRNA), and other proteins produce a chain of amino acids—the polypeptide—as the end product of translation.
