Best Practices for Asking Questions to Identify Transgender and Othe r Gender Minority Re spo n d e n t s o n P opu l ati o n-Ba
In 2011, the Williams Institute at the UCLA School of Law convened a multi-disciplinary and multi-institutional group of experts to increase population-based data about transgender people and other gender minorities by advancing the development of sex and gender-related measures (i.e., sex assigned at birth, gender identity, gender expression, transgender status) for population-based surveys, with a particular consideration for publicly-funded data collection efforts.
To achieve this goal, between 2011 and 2013 this group, known as the Gender Identity in U.S. Surveillance (GenIUSS) group, mapped the landscape of current practices to identify transgender and other gender minority respondents in population research, assessed challenges to collecting data on gender-related aspects of individual identity, and developed strategies for establishing consistent, scientifically rigorous procedures for gathering information relevant to the needs and experiences of transgender people and other gender minorities. This report is the culmination of the work of the GenIUSS group and serves as a companion to the 2009 report from the Sexual Minority Assessment Research Team (SMART), also coordinated by the Williams Institute, entitled Best Practices for Asking Questions about Sexual Orientation on Surveys
