Trans and gender diverse (trans) people experience unique challenges with visibility and acceptance, and the health inequity faced by trans people globally is a major public health concern.
The exclusion of trans people often extends to research. Inaccurate representation or exclusion of trans experiences from research exacerbates marginalisation and health disparities and leads to inefficient allocation of resources, and public policies that exclude trans communities.
To date, there has been little guidance for researchers on how to accurately and meaningfully capture demographic data, which includes trans people in any form of population research.
To address this gap, the Trans Health Research Group from the University of Melbourne have developed guidelines to equip Australian researchers with the information needed to collect gender data in a way that is inclusive and affirming of trans people.
