Abstract: Initially motivated by the known disparities in socioeconomic, educational, and health outcomes for American Indians in the United States, my thesis broadly addresses the ways that interracial marriage, as a proxy for cultural assimilation, affects the health of minorities, and American Indians in particular. While my primary curiosity remains the health outcomes for American Indians in interracial marriages with whites, I examine health outcomes for individuals with white spouses across several minority groups. While a large body of existing literature documents health disparities for minorities in the United States, few have attempted to explain poor health outcomes in relation to interracial marriage.
