01.09.24 - Upcoming changes to Demographics Data in Premier and Demographics APIs

Beginning January 12, new subcategories will be added to organizational demographic data in the Premier and Demographics APIs.

Added Subcategories

The following subcategories will be added:

• "People who prefer to identify with another gender identity" will be added as a subcategory under the "Gender Identity" and "Transgender Identity" categories
• "People who prefer to identify with another sexual orientation" will be added as a subcategory under the "Sexual Orientation" category

On April 1, additional updates to organizational demographic data will be released in the Premier and Demographics APIs.

Updated Category Labels

• "Gender Identity 2" will be updated to "Transgender Identity"

Updated Subcategory Labels

• "Not transgender (cisgender)" will be updated to "Not transgender" under the newly labeled "Transgender Identity" category

Added category and subcategory ID

• The API will include an ID field as a key-value pair with the category and subcategory name. We recommend using the ID field as a unique identifier to prevent any potential breakpoints if category names change.
