The child race/ethnicity groups available on this website are standard categories constructed according to the same guidelines used by the National Center for Health Statistics. Both the NSCH and the NS-CSHCN ask a series of questions about the sample child’s race and Hispanic or Latino ethnicity. Respondents are allowed to answer affirmatively to one or more categories of race. There are a number of ways that the responses to these questions can be used to create different groupings of race and/or ethnicity.
