While it has always been possible to report that an individual considered himself or herself to be comprised of more than one race in the standards that were used prior...
The 1997 standards, however, enables people to identify themselves as multiracial and to outline which specific races they are comprised of.
There were several methodological considerations for this particular article, which were primarily concerned with ascertaining how people identify themselves by race in census reporting.

Furthermore, the study demonstrated how the 1997 standards' ability to allow people to identify themselves as multiracial could significantly impact the results of a health survey. This fact was suitably proven via a the usage of statistics comparing the incidence…
