Broad group page for the ASCCEG hierarchy. Use it to move into the correct narrow group before selecting the final cultural and ethnic group code.
What this broad group covers
ASCCEG broad groups are the top layer of the cultural and ethnic group hierarchy. They are used when a response still needs to be placed into the correct major branch before coding can move to a more specific level.
In practical coding work, broad groups are not usually the stopping point. They are the orientation layer above narrow groups and the detailed four-digit group codes.
