Evidence suggests that among mainland-born decedents. Hispanic (particularly Puerto Rican) origin may have been underreported in states that have added an ancestry item to their death certificates. This study uses the 1980 Census Bureau Spanish-surname list to code surnames on New York City death certificates. By examining the correspondence between surname type and the response to the ancestry item, we identify potential underreporting of Hispanic ethnicity for Spanish-surnamed decedents. A surname-based method then is used to adjust mortality data for mainland-born Puerto Rican decedents.
有证据表明，在出生于美国大陆的死者中，在死亡证明上增加了祖籍项目的州，西班牙裔（尤其是波多黎各裔）的出身可能被少报了。本研究使用1980年人口普查局的西班牙姓氏列表对纽约市死亡证明上的姓氏进行编码。通过检查姓氏类型与祖籍项目回答之间的对应关系，我们确定了西班牙姓氏死者中西班牙裔种族可能存在少报的情况。然后使用一种基于姓氏的方法来调整出生于美国大陆的波多黎各裔死者的死亡率数据。
