"It's okay to ask": inclusion of sexual orientation questions is feasible in population health surveys

Gay and lesbian health advocacy organisations are keen to encourage the inclusion of questions on sexual orientation in population health surveys in order to provide essential information on the health needs of these communities, particularly as people get older and have increasing needs for health and aged care. The SEEF project has demonstrated the inclusion of a sexual orientation question is feasible and provides data broadly in line with other sexuality-specific investigations.
