It assisted the Bureau of Labor Statistics in evaluating to what extent domestic-partner benefits are accessible throughout the country. The Williams study of best practices for asking and analyzing sexual orientation survey questions has aided the Department of Health and Human Services in its recent commitment to LGBT inclusion in major federal health surveys — a critical and enormous source of data to health researchers.
