IDEA Council Research on Inclusive Demographic Questions


In this session, Frankie will share on behalf of the Insights Association's IDEA Council what to consider when asking about gender identity and sexual orientation for qualitative recruiting and respondent engagement. Often we are going with the default when asking about a person's identity, which can be disaffirming or misaligned to how they identify and negatively impact their research experience with us. The IDEA Council has been working on a collaborative industry initiative to shed light on asking demographic questions inclusively and thoughtfully, and these are the results.
