Abstract:
NIH requires that research results be reported by the five official race/ethnic categories: white, black, Asian/pacific islander, american Indian and Hispanic. However, in California, babies of 2013, 53% were racially ambiguous: the mothers and fathers were of different race/ethnic origins. This presentation will offer current research on race/ethnic categories and racially ambiguous babies.
