Gilbert Gonzales presented, "Health Insurance Coverage Among Same-Sex Couples: Disparities and Trends Under DOMA" at the American Public Health Association's 141st Annual Meeting on November 4, 2013.

This presentation examines disparities and trends in health insurance among same-sex couples using data from the 1997-2012 National Health Interview Survey (NHIS).  Among key findings was that the number of adults in same-sex relationships who were covered by another person’s health plan increased over time.
