| Public health surveys often collect data on racial and ethnic categories. Such information can be useful, but can be difficult to obtain accurately, and must be analyzed with care. This session will examine the statistical methods and implications for the use of these variables. | |||
| Learning Objectives: At the end of this session, the participant will be able to: 1. Recognize and articulate the implications of differential reliability and validity for public health survey research 2. Understand the use of scores for traditional minimal assumption Mantel-Haenszel tests and their extensions 3. They will learn about the latest research about variables that predict the single race category a multiple-race person will report as their primary race. 4. Understand the costs of treating 'Hispanic' as a quasi-racial category when studying health risks and behaviors | |||
