Sexual Orientation and Gender Identity Measures for Cancer Research: Feedback from Older Americans.
Purpose: To improve upon measures of sexual orientation and gender identity (SOGI) used in previous studies, we created and tested seven measures for inclusion in cancer research and refined them based on input from study participants. Methods: Between February and March 2024, cognitive interviews were conducted virtually with a purposive sample of 18 adults ≥50 years old. Equal numbers of participants identified as LGBTQ+ (n = 9) and cisgender heterosexual (n = 9). We chose older adults because-for the most part-participants in past studies on SOGI data acceptability have been younger than those typically recruited in cancer-related studies. Participants were selected for maximum diversity in age, race/ethnicity, U.S. geographic region, and political ideology. Descriptive themes and patterns for each measure were organized, evaluated, synthesized, and summarized. Results: Most participants found six of seven tested measures easy to answer. Respondents were satisfied with being able to choose more than one response option for each item. Some terms, (e.g., response options "cisgender" and "non-binary" for gender identity measure) were new to some respondents. Revisions to measures were made based on respondent feedback. The breast/chest tissue item confused most respondents, so it was withdrawn. Conclusions: This study found that most tested SOGI measures were easy to understand, and the response options were appropriate. Refined measures can serve as a resource for investigators and clinicians to employ who wish to improve SOGI data collection.

期刊介绍:
LGBT Health is the premier peer-reviewed journal dedicated to promoting optimal healthcare for millions of sexual and gender minority persons worldwide by focusing specifically on health while maintaining sufficient breadth to encompass the full range of relevant biopsychosocial and health policy issues. This Journal aims to promote greater awareness of the health concerns particular to each sexual minority population, and to improve availability and delivery of culturally appropriate healthcare services. LGBT Health also encourages further research and increased funding in this critical but currently underserved domain. The Journal provides a much-needed authoritative source and international forum in all areas pertinent to LGBT health and healthcare services. Contributions from all continents are solicited including Asia and Africa which are currently underrepresented in sex research.
