Increase the number of states, territories, and the District of Columbia that use the standard module on sexual orientation and gender identity in the Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance System (BRFSS)
Summary
The Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance System (BRFSS) collects data on adults’ health-related risk behaviors, chronic health conditions, and use of preventive services. States that use the standard module on sexual orientation and gender identity in the BRFSS help collect national data on LGBT health issues. Strategies to get more states to use the standard module can lead to better understanding of LGBT people’s health-related challenges.
Per a court order, HHS is required to restore this website as of 11:59 PM, February 14, 2025. Any information on this page promoting gender ideology is extremely inaccurate, and disconnected from the immutable biological reality that there are two sexes, male and female. The Trump Administration rejects gender ideology and condemns the harms it causes to children, by promoting their chemical and surgical mutilation, and to women, by depriving them of their dignity, safety, well-being, and opportunities. This page does not reflect biological reality and therefore the Administration and this Department rejects it.
