Publication Type: Conference Paper/Unpublished Manuscript Review Method: Peer Reviewed Abstract: This project analyzes the racial identity follow-up question frequently used in surveys conducted by the National Center for Health Statistics. The follow-up question applies to respondents who report more than one race, and asks them to specify a primary race. Cognitive analysis was utilized to 1) better understand respondents� interpretations of the question as well as the processes by which responses were constructed; such information would help to determine the type of information collected by the question, and 2) identify potential problems in the question leading to response error, item non-response or respondent burden. Two rounds of cognitive interviews were conducted. An interpretive analysis of the first round interviews revealed that while a majority of participants responded to the wording �which of these groups BEST represents your race� according to a cultural understanding of race, some participants based their responses on other dimensions of racial identity. Some participants either had difficulty determining the intent of �best represents� or could not determine which criteria upon which to base their answer. Four dimensions of racial identity were discovered as criteria that individuals used when reporting race: cultural, social, administrative and ancestral. To improve the follow-up question, it was re-written as four separate questions, each worded specifically to capture these various dimensions of race. Analysis of a second round of interviews suggests that the four re-written questions produce little to no respondent burden, are relevant to participants, and are consistent with participants� conceptualizations of racial identity.
