Abstract: 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. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
