Collection of Sexual Orientation and Gender Identity Data
The San Francisco Board of Supervisors passed the Collection of Sexual Orientation and Gender Identity Data Ordinance (Chapter 104 of the Administrative Code) in 2016. Chapter 104 mandates collection of sexual orientation and gender identity (SOGI) information, which enables City departments and agencies to use more robust data to identify the health needs of all San Franciscans and to evaluate its programs. This report describes SOGI data collection in the Department of Public Health, analysis of the data, and steps the DPH is taking to use SOGI data to achieve our mission, which is to protect and promote the health of all San Franciscans.
