Issue & Survey | Description | Revisions |
Item wording was gender specific | Socio-demographic Item: “If you are female and have a male physician, would you prefer a female health care provider, such as a female doctor or female nurse practitioner for health exams?” Responses categories included male, female, and do not care. While this item was intended for only females to respond, a number of males (Urdu, n = 2; English, n = 2) responded to the item indicating that they preferred a male. Both cognitive interviewers inadvertently asked this item because we would not have picked up on this issue. | The item was reworded for round two to include both male and female participant responses: “For health exams, would you prefer a health care provider who is?” The responses categories also were modified to: male, female, and no preference. |
