We examined whether nonresponse to the survey question on self-identified sexual orientation was associated with race and ethnicity, utilizing Washington State Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance System data. The results of adjusted multinomial logistic regression indicated that the nonresponse rates of Asian Americans, Hispanics, and African Americans are higher than those of non-Hispanic Whites. Innovative ways of measuring sexual orientation to reduce racially and ethnically driven bias need to be developed and integrated into public health surveys.
我们利用华盛顿州行为风险因素监测系统的数据,研究了对自我认同的性取向调查问题的无回应是否与种族和民族有关。调整后的多项逻辑回归结果表明,亚裔美国人、西班牙裔和非裔美国人的无回应率高于非西班牙裔白人。需要开发和整合创新性的性取向测量方法,以减少种族和民族驱动的偏见,并将其纳入公共卫生调查。
