Sexual Orientation and Gender Identity Data Collection and the Trump Administration

Changes in the collection and distribution of sexual orientation and gender data.

View in browser NEW & NOTEWORTHY How Administration Actions to Scale Back Federal Sexual Orientation and Gender Identity Data Collection Could Limit Efforts to Address LGBTQ Health Inequities In a new review of select federal surveys, KFF examines changes in how the government collects and distributes data about sexual orientation and gender, which may present challenges for understanding and assessing the needs and experiences of the LGBTQ population in the U.S., including those related to coverage, access, violence, and discrimination.   The brief explores how the administration has modified or removed gender identity and sexual orientation measures and metrics across three federal surveys: The National Health Interview Survey (NHIS), a principal source of information about broad population health measures, including insurance coverage patterns and overall health status. The Medicare Current Beneficiary Survey (MCBS), the government's long-running, nationally-representative survey of people with Medicare. The National Crime Victimization Survey (NCVS), examining experiences of violence and discrimination.
