Term Description

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.

Part Description

LP207548-1   Bridged race
Race bridging refers to making data collected using one set of race categories consistent with data collected using a different set of race categories, to permit estimation and comparison of race-specific statistics at a point in time or over time. More specifically, race bridging is a method used to make multiple-race and single-race data collection systems sufficiently comparable to permit estimation and analysis of race-specific statistics.
