#' Gender and race data from Google Android Panel survey
#'
#' 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.
#' 
#' 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)".
