**NOTE REGARDING GENDER IDENTITY (SOGI) INSTRUCTIONS. The Gender identity items must be asked.
The instructions below are optional and can be used by IPPs to introduce the terms associated with the SOG} items that your participants may not be familiar with. The instructions can also be modified by IPPs working within cultural environments with highly nuanced language translation needs or who must be mindful of other sensitive considerations. Please contact PARC@LMU to discuss in order to obtain OHE approval of any proposed modifications to the instructions based on linguistic and cultural factors.
Gender Identity Instructions: We use terms like "male" or 'female" or "trans" as a short-hand way to capture the gender of individuals. We fully understand, however, that people use a wide range of labels — some prefer other terms such GS Genderfluid, Agender, Enby, Androgynous, etc. To help us understand you personally, please tell us the term that you personally prefer to describe your gender. There are no right or wrong answers to these questions. Please be honest and answer as you really think and feel.
