The debate regarding the correlation between race, genetics and disease has expanded, but limited empirical data has been collected regarding the lay public&#8217;s perspective. Participants in this study explore their identity and its relationships to their health care interactions. Participants also share their views on race-based therapeutics, health disparities and the connections between race, ancestry and genetics. Their voices highlight the limitations of racial categories in describing differences within our increasingly diverse communities. The genomic era will be a pivotal period in challenging current understandings and uses of racial categories in health.<\/p>\n<p>Read or purchase the article <a href=\"http:\/\/sf.oxfordjournals.org\/content\/86\/2\/795.full.pdf+html\" target=\"_blank\">here<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Mixed Race: Understanding Difference in the Genome Era Social Forces Volume 86, Issue 2, December 2007 pages 795-820 E-ISSN: 1534-7605, Print ISSN: 0037-7732 DOI: 10.1353\/sof.2008.0011 Elizabeth M.
