Asking REALD and SOGI Questions:
All questions must be asked. Patients may select "Don't know" or "Don't want to answer" for any question. Providers may also choose to adapt their own systems and forms to incorporate the REALD and SOGI questions into their existing data collection processes. If doing so:
  • Do not change or remove wording in the questions or in the response choices for each question.
  • Changing the question order is acceptable.
