The term “coloured” is used by Statistics South Africa,49 a South African ethnic label that includes children and descendants from black-white, black-Asian, black-coloured, and white-Asian unions.50 The regression model is adjusted on the basis of post-stratification weight (from final observation of the individual panel) to reflect more recent population estimates produced by Statistics South Africa. RR=relative risk.
