A 2010 study stated that interracial couples had a higher risk for intimate partner violence, including intimate partner violence causing physical injury and/or arrest, than both ethnic minority and White couples.

A 2005 study stated that Interracial marriage is associated with increases in severe distress for Native American men, white women, and for Hispanic men and women married to non-white spouses, compared to endogamous members of the same groups. Higher rates of distress are observed for intermarried persons with African American or Native American husbands or wives, and for women with Hispanic husbands.

A 2008 study stated that Partners in interethnic unions generally reported lower levels of relationship quality than did partners in same-ethnic unions. These differences held for women as well as men, and for married as well as cohabiting couples. Differences in relationship quality were largely accounted for by more complex relationship histories, more heterogamous unions, fewer shared values and less support from parents. In contrast, differences in socioeconomic resources did not appear to play an explanatory role.

Mixed race/biracial individuals
The "National Household Survey on Drug Abuse" in 1999 stated that of the major racial/ethnic groups, drug use was highest among those reporting to be mixed race.
A 2002 study
stated that Mean levels of three characteristics—verbal IQ, number of sexual
partners, and birth weight—were examined in African American, White
(European-descent) Americans, and Black/White mixed race American adolescents.
The sample came from Wave 1 of the National Longitudinal Study of Adolescent
Health. The mean age was 16 years. According to their interviewers, the mixed
race children had an African American physical appearance. The African American
adolescents had a lower birth weight, a lower verbal IQ, and a higher number of
sexual partners than did White adolescents. For each characteristic, the mixed
race mean fell between the means of the two parental populations.
A 2003
study stated that most earlier studies on mixed-race adolescents had found
increased risk for emotional, health, and behavior problems. The most common
suggested explanation was identity problems, leading to lack of self-esteem,
social isolation, and family problems in mixed-race households. The study
stated that it was the first using a large, nationally representative sample.
Compared with non-mixed adolescents, the mixed race adolescents often had
increased risk for various health problems, substance abuse problems, and
behavior problems. While there were differences between different mixed race
groups, there was a generally increased risk for all race combinations for most
risks.

A 2006
study found increased risks for multiracial adolescents for various problems,
including violent behaviours.
Another
2006 study which examined behavioral health found that multiracial
Hispanics/Latino adolescents and multiracial non-Hispanic adolescents had more
behavioral health problems than monoracial Hispanic adolescents.
A 2008
study stated that Over the past 40 years the fraction of mixed race black-white
births has increased nearly nine-fold. [...] As one might expect, on a host of
background and achievement characteristics, mixed race adolescents fall in
between whites and blacks. When it comes to engaging in risky/anti-social
adolescent behavior, however, mixed race adolescents are stark outliers
compared to both blacks and whites. [...] Mixed race adolescents -- not having
a natural peer group -- need to engage in more risky behaviors to be accepted.
