【摘要】
In recent years, societal interest in sexual and gender minorities, including lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and queer (LGBTQ) people, has increased across the world. However, extant research in Japan tends to use qualitative methods, which makes it difficult to estimate the size of LGBTQ populations and understand socioeconomic and health disadvantages experienced by these populations. In this talk, I present findings from our methodological studies to develop questions to measure sexual orientation and gender identity (SOGI) on population-based surveys in the Japanese context. I also discuss findings from a nationally representative survey and a community-based survey in Japan to illustrate the significance of including SOGI as routine demographic questions like age, race/ethnicity, and place of residence.
