DISQ “Office Hours” are technical assistance opportunities that allow Ryan White HIV/AIDS Program (RWHAP) recipient and provider staff to talk with their peers in an informal setting about specific technical challenges and solutions. These hour-long calls include a short presentation by a RWHAP recipient or provider about their data management approach. The remainder of the call provides an opportunity for participants to discuss and ask questions.
Collecting data on sexual orientation and gender identity (SOGI) using gender-affirming approaches is critical to providing high-quality, patient-centered care and reducing health disparities. Join this discussion to learn about new approaches to gender-affirming demographic data collection among RWHAP agencies.
