title: IPUMS Contextual Determinants of Health (CDOH) Sexual and Gender Minority Measure: Proportion Identifying as LGBTQ by State, United States, 2021-2022
title: Archival Version

description: The IPUMS Contextual Determinants of Health (CDOH) data series includes measures of disparities, policies, and counts, by state or county, for historically marginalized populations in the United States including Black, Asian, Hispanic/Latina/o/e/x, and LGBTQ+ persons, and women.
The IPUMS CDOH data are made available through ICPSR/DSDR for merging with the National Couples' Health and Time Study (NCHAT), United States, 2020-2021 (ICPSR 38417) by approved restricted data researchers. All other researchers can access the IPUMS CDOH data via the IPUMS CDOH website.
Unlike other IPUMS products, the CDOH data are organized into multiple categories related to Race and Ethnicity, Sexual and Gender Minority, Gender, and Politics. The CDOH measures were created from a wide variety of data sources (e.g., IPUMS NHGIS, the Census Bureau, the Bureau of Labor Statistics, the Movement Advancement Project, and Myers Abortion Facility Database). Measures are currently available for states or counties from approximately 2015 to 2020.
The Sexual and Gender measures in this release include the proportion of a state's population identifying as LGBTQ+ in the U.S. Census Bureau's Household Pulse Survey, Phases 3.2 (07/21/2021-10/11/2021), 3.3 (12/01/2021-02/07/2022), 3.4 (03/02/2022-05/09/2022), and 3.5 (06/01/2022-08/08/2022). To work with the IPUMS CDOH data, researchers will need to first merge the NCHAT data to DS1 (MATCH ID and State FIPS Data). This merged file can then be linked to the IPUMS CDOH datafile (DS2) using the <b>STATEFIPS</b> variable.
description: The purpose of this study is to provide researchers the ability to merge the NCHAT (National Couples' Health and Time Study) data with the Contextual Determinants of Health (CDOH).
description: DS1 "MATCH ID and State FIPS Data" provides a <b>MATCH_ID</b> variable and <b>STATEFIPS</b> variable to allow users to merge the IPUMS Contextual Determinants of Health (CDOH) data with the NCHAT (National Couples' Health and Time Study).
DS2 "Cisheterosexism State Proportion of Population Identifying as LGBTQ+ Data" provides the proportion of each state's population that identified as being LGBTQ+ between 2021 and 2022. Please refer to page 3 of the User Guide for the formula used to create this binary variable. Once the NCHAT data is merged with the IPUMS CDOH data using DS1, it can then be merge with DS2 via the <b>STATEFIPS</b> variable.
description: DS2 includes 2 variables and 51 cases. There is a variable for <b>STATEFIPS</b> and for <b>PROP_LGBTQ</b> which gives the proportion of a state's population identifying as LGBTQ+.
