背景。妇女癌症筛查项目是关于40至75岁合法未婚妇女的经历。方法。在实施对乳腺癌、宫颈癌和结直肠癌筛查经验的调查之前,我们使用基于认知的访谈来评估性取向和性别表达的问题。结果。我们采访了40位女性,其中19位与女性搭档,21位与男性搭档。访谈突出了受访者的困惑,澄清了术语的含义,提高了对问题的理解和利用。结论。认知访谈技术可以提高癌症筛查项目收集数据的有效性和可靠性。
Background. The Cancer Screening Project for Women is about the experiences of legally unmarried women aged 40 to 75 years. Methods. Prior to the implementation of a survey of experiences with breast, cervical, and colorectal cancer screenings, we used cognitive-based interviewing to evaluate questions for measuring sexual orientation and gender expression. Results. We conducted interviews with 40 women, 19 who partner with women and 21 who partner with men. Interviews highlighted respondent confusion, clarified the meaning of terms, and improved the comprehension and utility of questions. Conclusions. Cognitive interview techniques can improve the validity and reliability of data collected by cancer screening programs.
