This study aimed to understand the experiences of hospital registrars in collecting gender identity data.
A qualitative study that thematically analyzed key informant interviews with 37 registrars regarding their attitudes and practices in collecting gender identity data.
Collection of gender identity is influenced by (1) system-level barriers, (2) discrepancies in source of truth for documentation, and (3) registrars' underlying attitudes and behaviors.
Findings demonstrate that person- and system-level barriers can interfere with the accurate and respectful collection of gender identity data, which is critical for tracking and addressing lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and queer health disparities.

性别认同数据的收集受到以下因素影响:(1)系统层面的障碍;(2)文件真实来源的差异;(3)登记员的潜在态度和行为。
研究结果表明,个人和系统层面的障碍可能会干扰对性别认同数据的准确和尊重性收集,而这对于追踪和解决女同性恋、男同性恋、双性恋、跨性别者及酷儿群体的健康差异至关重要。
