A special Pride Month webinar, this event included speakers from NASEM on a newly published Consensus Panel Study on Measuring Sex, Gender Identity, and Sexual Orientation. This report, commissioned by 19 components of the NIH, was developed by a multidisciplinary team of experts and reviews the current evidence base on measurement and data collection related to SGM populations. The report outlines guidelines, recommendations, and best practices for collecting sexual orientation and gender identity information in research and non-research surveys, along with medical and other administrative records, to improve the NIH’s ability to identify and address the specific needs of these populations.
