Résumé :	[BDSP. Notice produite par INIST-CNRS R0xUeLt6. Diffusion soumise à autorisation]. Objectives. Race-specific health statistics are routinely reported in scientific publications ; most describe health disparities across groups. Census 2000 showed that 2.4% of the US population identifies with more than 1 race group. We examined the hypothesis that multiple-race reporting is associated with interracial births by comparing parental race reported on birth certificates with reported race in a national health survey. Methods. US natality data from 1968 through 1998 and National Health Interview Survey data from 1990 through 1998 were compared, by year of birth. Results. Overall multiple-race survey responses correspond to expectations from interracial births. However, there are discrepancies for specific multiple-race combinations. Conclusions. Projected estimates of the multiple-race population can be only partially informed by vital records.
