Show/Hide Abstract

Abstract: This study, conducted by the Collaborating Center for Questionnaire Design and Evaluation Research (CCQDER) at the National Center for Health Statistics, investigates the performance of a gender identity measure for federal surveys. Specifically, the study examines a 2-step measure, whereby respondents are first asked sex assigned at birth followed by a question on current gender identity. The primary focus of the study was two-fold: 1) to determine whether respondents perceived the two questions as asking about distinct constructs, as opposed to seeing them as repetitive, and 2) to identify the ways in which respondents defined or conceptualized those constructs when formulating answers. As such, the study sought to investigate construct validity as well as to provide insight into potential response error.
