Let's discuss what data shows on this, THREAD
TL;DR: people want to provide SOGI data

People have been more willing over the yrs to provide #SOGI data: Time trends in rates of “refuse to answer” on sexual orientation by age, WA #BRFSS 2003–2010.
People are actually 4-8x more likely to refuse share their income.

This has been seen not only in pop surveys, but also clinical settings.
All patients (across age, race, ethnicity) in multiple-outpatient settings report high levels of acceptance and satisfaction with collection of personal SOGI data.

This has also been studied via @PCORI EQUALITY in ED settings: "Few patients will refuse to provide sexual orientation information in the ED setting..."

The @PCORI EQUALITY study also revealed that patients were far more willing to share #SOGI "...in contrast to what most ED health care professionals think."

TL;DR: folks want to provide SOGI data.
Would love to hear how others convince folks of the ease of #SOGI data collection
