Father's Bridged race [CDC]

Definition

  • Used by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), National Center for Health Statistics (NCHS) to report race data that has been adjusted in such a way that an individual is assigned a single race code. The adjustment process is used for persons for whom more than one race is reported. In such cases, a single race is assigned by using an algorithm defined by NCHS. The goal is to provide race statistics that are comparable with those used historically in order to facilitate time series analysis.
