Reachable: Data collection methods for sexual orientation and gender identity

In the past few years, researchers have begun developing new methods to measure sexual orientation and gender identity. Sexual and gender minorities have often been classified as "hard-to-reach" populations. However, recent developments in data collection methods demonstrate the increasing number of research methodologies available to those seeking a greater understanding of the lived realities of sexual and gender monorities. This report highlights some examples of data collection methods and presents examples of their use around the world.

The audience for this paper is non-researchers who seek a basic understanding of data collection methods regarding sexual orientation and gender identity. This paper is not a review of data collection. Rather it provides a small number of examples of data collection efforts.
