Measuring Race and Ancestry in the Age of Genetic Testing

Sasha Shen Johfre et al.

Summary: The rise of genetic ancestry tests (GATs) is changing how Americans respond to questions about race and ancestry by increasing the likelihood of self-identification as multiracial, especially selecting three or more races. This increase in multiracial reporting among GAT takers is influenced by factors such as higher likelihood of identifying as multiracial, reporting multiple regions of ancestral origin, and translating ancestral diversity into multiracial self-identification. The meaning of race data in the U.S. may be evolving as more Americans are exposed to GAT information.
