Gender and race data from Google Android Panel survey

Description

From Sell, Goldberg, Conron: Gaps in data collection systems, as well as challenges associated with gathering data from rare and dispersed populations, render current health surveillance systems inadequate to identify and monitor efforts to reduce health disparities. Using sexual and gender minorities we investigated the utility of using a large nonprobability online panel to conduct rapid population assessments of such populations using brief surveys.

Details

This data consists of responses from users of the Google Android Panel. These are users of the Google Opinion Rewards application who have Smart phones operated by Google’s Android operating system and receive small payments of up to one dollar per 10-item survey. Users of Google Opinion Rewards tend to represent earlier-adopters and heavier technology users than on average. For each survey an individual panel member is sent, Google informs the panel member of how data will be used and asks for their consent.

Gender identity information was collected with the question "Gender Identity—What is your current gender identity? (Select all that apply)".
