Article Synopsis
- Self-reporting is considered the best method for gathering demographic data, but combining structured answers with free-text options poses challenges for accurate data collection, especially related to health disparities.
- While there has been significant progress in collecting race and ethnicity data, less attention has been given to gathering information on sexual and gender minorities and military veterans.
- An analysis of 3,381 free-text responses from patients regarding gender identity, sexual orientation, pronouns, and veteran experiences revealed common themes that can guide improvements in future data collection methods.
