In the United States today, there remains a persistent lack of routine data collection on sexual orientation and gender identity, including the disparities that affect the LGBTQ—leaving the challenges facing LGBT communities largely unmapped. Collecting more and better data about sexual orientation and gender identity, or SOGI, is essential to meet the needs of LGBT people and their families across the United States. This article offers suggestions for tested SOGI question designs, data collection in research efforts, administrative and programmatic data collection, and how to address gender identity and expression.
