ABSTRACT Identification of indi vid u als in same-sex rela tion ships in the Amer i can Time Use Survey (ATUS) is of increas ing inter est to the research com mu nity. While the ATUS inter views one per son per house hold, by using infor ma tion about who else lives in the house hold, research ers can eas ily iden tify respon dents in cores i dent same-sex cou ple arrange ments. Previous research has outlined two approaches to iden ti fy ing indi vid u als in same-sex rela tion ships in the ATUS that use infor ma tion on the sex of house hold mem bers. We extend that work in this research note by using addi tional infor ma tion col lected from a direct ques tion to iden tify unmar ried cohabiting part ners in the Current Population Survey (CPS). We iden tify 23% more indi vid u als in cohabit-ing same-sex rela tion ships when we use the CPS direct ques tion infor ma tion than when we use infor ma tion from the ATUS alone. We argue that this iden ti fi ca tion strat egy is more inclu sive of indi vid u als in same-sex cohabiting rela tion ships.
