Statewide Implementation of Sexual Orientation and Gender Identity (SOGI) Data Collection to Advance Health Equity

Summary

Collecting and using sexual orientation and gender identity (SOGI) data are the keys to systematically assessing and addressing the health and healthcare needs of sexual- and gender-diverse (SGD) people across all domains of life. This multilevel, mixed-method study will develop resources and study strategies for implementing SOGI data collection in state-operated Public Health Offices that provide a wide range of health and social services to racially, ethnically, and geographically diverse communities in urban, rural, and frontier communities of New Mexico. Study findings will be pertinent to other states and healthcare settings interested in illuminating the nature and extent of disparities and adverse health outcomes for SGD people, encouraging patient-centered care, and advancing equity-focused evidence-based interventions to eliminate long-standing disparities.
