The present study reports on the process of creating a Positive youth development (PYD) survey with racially, ethnically, and gender-minoritized youth and PYD practitioners by measuring (1) Racial, Ethnic, and Gender Identity, (2) Social-Emotional Development, and (3) Program Environments. The Phase 1 survey was developed and piloted following interviews with PYD leaders, youth focus groups, and cognitive interviews (n = 320). The Phase 2 survey was refined utilizing CPBR with youth and program leaders, then pilot tested again (n = 533). Item quality analysis, reliability, confirmatory factor analysis (CFA), and measurement invariance testing were conducted on both waves. The Phase 2 survey showed improved measurement fit, invariance across diverse groups, and improved internal consistency. Including youth in survey design resulted in a higher quality survey that more accurately represented the experiences of racial, ethnic, and gender-minoritized youth.
本研究报告了与种族、族裔和性别少数群体青年以及积极青年发展（PYD）从业者共同创建一份PYD调查问卷的过程，该问卷通过测量以下三个方面：（1）种族、族裔和性别认同；（2）社会情感发展；（3）项目环境。在对PYD领导者、青年焦点小组进行访谈以及开展认知访谈（n = 320）之后，开发并试点了第一阶段的调查问卷。利用与青年和项目领导者进行的社区参与式行动研究（CPBR）对第二阶段的调查问卷进行了完善，然后再次进行试点测试（n = 533）。对两个阶段的调查数据均进行了项目质量分析、信度分析、验证性因素分析（CFA）以及测量不变性检验。第二阶段的调查问卷显示出更好的测量拟合度、不同群体间的不变性以及更高的内部一致性。让青年参与调查设计产生了一份质量更高的调查问卷，该问卷更准确地反映了种族、族裔和性别少数群体青年的经历。
