| Abstract:
In this roundtable we will discuss our experiences interviewing deaf and hard-of-hearing participants in our evaluation projects. We will discuss the various ways that deaf and hard-of-hearing individuals communicate (e.g., American Sign Language, Signed English, Cued Speech, Auditory-Oral Method). We will review how evaluators can best prepare beforehand (i.e., interview protocol, room arrangements) to interview an individual who is deaf or hard-of-hearing. Lastly, we will spend most of the time leading a discussion with the audience members on strategies for conducting an effective interview with participants who are deaf or hard-of-hearing.

Don't Forget Us! Standardizing Methods of Data Collection That are Inclusive of Transgender and Gender Non-Conforming Individuals |

| Abstract:
Historically, local and national health data collection and evaluation efforts have mostly excluded LGBTQ people. Consequently, there is currently no set of standardized questions to collect sexual minority and gender identity information. Gender non-conforming individuals are often lost in data collection efforts. Evaluation methods must develop appropriate and standardized methods of asking about gender identity that result in data collection of relevant information to better serve the needs of gender non-conforming populations in the health, social justice, and social policy fields.
Rainbow Health Initiative will discuss health assessment data collection over a 3-year period, including the survey instrument design, complications, and final evaluation questions leading to broad data collection with regards to sexual minorities and gender identity representation. If these questions become standardized, it could significantly increase research data on gender non-conforming populations and provide the means for more research, programs, and services.
