| Opplysninger | This case study describes an online community-engaged research project with immigrants who speak different languages. The study was conducted in partnership with city government leadership, programs directed at immigrants, and university researchers. Together, the team aimed to learn from immigrants' experiences to identify opportunities for changes in the community to promote immigrant integration and inclusion. While not originally intended to be conducted online, data collection began concurrent with the beginnings of the COVID-19 pandemic and was transitioned online to mitigate the spread of the virus. Ten focus groups were conducted through a videoconferencing platform, Zoom, in seven different languages, facilitated through professional interpreters. In this case study, we describe the process of developing and carrying out these multilingual focus groups, including collaborating with stakeholders to organize focus groups and recruit participants, building rapport with participants, working with interpreters in focus group facilitation online, and navigating ethical dilemmas. We describe lessons learned that we recommend others consider when designing and carrying out an online focus group study with immigrants who speak diverse languages.
