Resource Profile: SDOHCC Observation Recorded Sex Gender

Profile for observations about “recorded sex and gender” which, in the past, were often used interchangeably. In this context, sex is a biological construct and pertains to a person’s genetics, hormones, and anatomy. This profile is intended for draft use only. For further details on this profile see Draft Specifications for Personal Characteristics.

Usage:
