• Abstract:
  One of these working papers, Toward a Research Agenda for Measuring Sexual Orientation and Gender Identity in Federal Surveys, addresses the knowledge gaps by proposing research priorities and strategies to make the greatest impact on improving SOGI measurement in federal surveys (IWG, 2016c). A primary research priority is the need for further research on the terminology and ordering of response options for SOGI questions. Since 2016, research and data collection efforts have continued to expand, laying the groundwork to address this research priority by reviewing the most recent key terms used in collecting data on SGM populations, as well as the current data collection methodologies. This paper is intended to inform researchers and interested parties beyond the U.S. federal statistical system.
