CSDE Affiliate Patricia Louie (Sociology) and CSDE Trainee Hana Brown (Sociology) released an article with colleagues in the Journal of Racial and Ethnic Health Disparities, titled “Are Interracial Couples at Higher Risk of Multiple Chronic Conditions? Evidence from a Nationally Representative Sample“. Interracial relationships are becoming increasingly common in the United States, yet the physical health status of individuals in interracial relationships is not well understood. Using 18 years of pooled data from the National Health Interview Study (2001–2018) (N = 264, 891), authors compared the odds of having multiple chronic conditions (MCC) among adults in interracial and same-race unions.
