Traditionally, information on race and\/or ethnicity has been integral to our understanding of the health issues affecting the U.S. population. We review some of the complexities created by new classification approaches made possible by the inclusion of multiple-race assessment in the U.S. Census and large health surveys. We discuss the importance of these classification decisions in understanding racial\/ethnic health and health care access disparities. The trend toward increasing racial and ethnic diversity in the United States will put further pressure on the public health industry to develop consistent and useful approaches to racial\/ethnic classifications.<\/p>\n<p>Read or purchase the article <a href=\"http:\/\/www.annualreviews.org\/doi\/pdf\/10.1146\/annurev.publhealth.24.100901.140927\" target=\"_blank\">here<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Classification of Race and Ethnicity: Implications for Public Health Annual Review of Public Health Volume 24 (May 2003) pages 83-110 DOI: 10.1146\/annurev.publhealth.24.100901.140927 Vickie M.
