In 2017, the same year of LGBTQ+ Quality of Life Advisory Commission’s founding, the Commission identified the need to have City of Austin’s first LGBTQ+ Quality of Life survey. For the next few years, the Commission created a scope of work, examined other Commissions’ Quality of Life studies, and set shared expectations for the survey’s outcomes. The Commission partnered with Health Management Associates, Inc. (HMA) an independent, national research and consulting firm, to administer the city-wide survey successfully. In the development of the survey, HMA created a Research Advisory Board consisting of LGBTQ+ community members to provide guidance throughout the research process.
