性取向和性别认同（SO/GI）在死亡时没有系统地记录，限制了对女同性恋、男同性恋、双性恋和变性人（LGBT）死亡率差异的识别。LGBT人群被认为有较高的自杀风险，因为他们一生中自杀未遂的比例很高。然而，缺乏自杀死亡数据阻碍了对LGBT人群自杀流行率和模式的了解，也阻碍了有针对性的干预措施和预防计划的制定。本报告介绍了最近的努力，以解决这一知识差距，系统地收集SO/GI信息的自杀和其他暴力死亡的调查。
Sexual orientation and gender identity (SO/GI) are not systematically recorded at time of death, limiting identification of mortality disparities in lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender (LGBT) people. LGBT populations are thought to have elevated risk of suicide based on high rates of reported lifetime suicide attempts. Lack of data on suicide deaths, however, hinders understanding of the prevalence and patterns of suicide among LGBT populations and development of targeted interventions and prevention programs. This report describes recent efforts to address this knowledge gap by systematically collecting SO/GI information in the investigation of suicide and other violent deaths.
