This re\ufb02ects a higher rate of change over a shorter period of time than has been reported in the literature for adolescents in the general public. In contrast, the increased likelihood for Native American and multi-racial youth in the current study to change their racial categorization mirrors \ufb01ndings from earlier studies involving similarly-aged youth; the \ufb01ndings also suggest that a signi\ufb01cant proportion of Hispanic youth change their ethnic categorization as well. Findings from the current study further highlight high rates of discordance between the racial and ethnic self-identi\ufb01cation of Native American, Hispanic and multi-racial youth, and how agencies (school and child welfare) categorize them. For example, the level of discordance between self-reports of Native American youth and the racial designations made by child welfare was 90% at Time 1; youth\u2013child welfare discordance was even higher (96.1%) for multiracial youth. Similarly, Hispanic youth were misclassi\ufb01ed by the child welfare system over half of the time, and by school approximately one-third of the time.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><a href=\"mailto:jdsc@pdx.edu\" target=\"_blank\">Jessica Schmidt<\/a>, <em>et. al.<\/em>, \u201c<a href=\"http:\/\/www.mixedracestudies.org\/?p=41742\" target=\"_blank\">Who am I?
