LGBTQ+ Couples in the US: New Evidence and Research Opportunities in the National Couples’ Health and Time Study

Intervenante : Claire Kamp Dush (professeure de sociologie et directrice de Development Core at the Minnesota Population Center - University of Minnesota Twin Cities) ; discutant.e : à venir

The National Couples’ Health and Time Study (N =3,642) is a population-representative study of same and different-gender couples in the United States that includes large oversamples of sexual, gender, racial and ethnic diverse persons. Data were collected during the COVID-19 pandemic and includes survey, time diary, contextual, and biological data from respondents and their partners (N = 1515). We will describe the study and present key findings from recent NCHAT papers. Our focus will be on findings that are specific to LGBTQ+ populations including identity centrality, outness, measures of sexual orientation and gender, sources of support, discrimination experiences, social climate and structural heterosexism. All data presented are publicly available and we will review how to access the data as well.
