目前关于收集种族和族裔数据的变化的对话没有考虑到在西班牙裔美国人中列出多个种族反应的复杂性。种族和民族认同及其公开报道，在西班牙裔/拉丁美洲人在美国是嵌入在动态的社会因素。忽视这些因素会导致在解释数据和理解西班牙裔/拉丁裔之间的种族、民族和健康关系方面出现重大问题。在解决多种族反应所带来的挑战的一系列活动中，我们必须记住前景中出现的更大的问题-对影响西班牙裔/拉丁裔的死亡率和健康状况进行充分估计的策略。这些影响被认为是重要的，因为西班牙裔/拉丁裔将在未来十年内成为美国最大的少数民族。
Current dialogues on changes in collecting race and ethnicity data have not considered the complexity of tabulating multiple race responses among Hispanics. Racial and ethnic identification-and its public reporting-among Hispanics/Latinos in the United States is embedded in dynamic social factors. ignoring these factors leads to significant problems in interpreting data and understanding the relationship of race, ethnicity, and health among Hispanics/Latinos. In the flurry of activity to resolve challenges posed by multiple race responses, we must remember the larger issue that looms in the foreground-the tack of adequate estimates of mortality and health conditions affecting Hispanics/Latinos. The implications are deemed important because Hispanics/Latinos will become the largest minority group in the United States within the next decade.
