LOINC description : The interviewer asks the respondent (or proxy) to indicate his/her gender. The question
Are you male or female? needs to be asked because an interviewer may assume the respondent
self-identifies as a female but she really associates with being male. Depending on
the context of the study, the investigator may want to include other response options
such as transsexual and transgender. The question from the Los Angeles HIV Countywide
Risk Assessment Survey is a good resource and could be considered. This question is
available with the other Supplemental Information for Demographics.;
