Putting the 'T' in LGBT Health: How to Measure Gender Identity in a Large Health Survey

​Almost no data exist on transgender Americans, a group that continues to face widespread discrimination and possible related adverse health consequences. Matt Jans, CHIS survey methodologist, discusses the cutting-edge work that CHIS has done in collaboration with UCLA's Williams Institute to establish feasible ways to accurately measure gender identity. Jans presents results of an experimental test of gender identity questions and discusses their implications for gender identity measurement in surveys more broadly.
