In recent years both social scientists and public health researchers have become increasingly aware that gender is not a simple dichotomous variable and a fuller measurement needs more refined coding than a simple and restricted use of male/female or man/woman. Of special interest is the coding of those who are transgendered and/or those having other alternative gender identifications (e.g. intersex, non-binary, genderqueer).

Journal Article
This study examined whether the association between weight status and four chronic diseases (heart disease, hypertension, lifetime asthma, and type 2 diabetes) varied according to sexual orientation identity among adult men, controlling for demographic, socioeconomic, and other factors. Pooled 2003–2012 California Health Interview Survey (CHIS) data from 72,214 male adult participants were used along with logistic regression models to estimate whether the associations between weight status and chronic diseases varied by sexual orientation identity.

Fact Sheet
This fact sheet reports representative data on gender expression collected from California youth during the 2015-2016 data cycle of the California Health Interview Survey (CHIS) and describes findings related to the demographics and mental health of gender nonconforming (GNC) youth as compared to gender conforming youth. The study finds that GNC youth make up a significant segment (27 percent) of the adolescent population in California.

Policy Brief
This report provides the first look at demographics, health, and health care access among transgender adults in California who participated in the 2015-2016 California Health Interview Survey (CHIS). In California, about 92,000 (0.35 percent) adults ages 18 to 70 are transgender. Transgender adults are similar to cisgender adults in many ways but experience disparities in mental health, disability status, and health care access.
