We conclude this special issue on multiracial families with some advice for future research and practice as they relate to multiracial families. Based on the broader literature and the specific contributions of the special section, we offer six suggestions across the four themes identified in the introduction. First, we suggest the need to disaggregate “multiracial families” to better understand the dynamics occurring within these different family structures. Next, further examination of the dual realities and stressors associated with transition across various family stages will be informative. Third, additional empirical investigation into factors that promote positive multiracial couple relational experiences across family transitions, together will further illuminate dual realities and can inform resilience-promoting parenting and related interventions. Fourth, particularly if large datasets include information about family structure, ethnoracial background, and related factors, researchers can investigate internal and external factors that impact health outcomes among multiracial families. Finally, we call for increased research with multiracial families across stages or of individual and family development and urge for balance in the presentation of positive and negative aspects of multiracial family life. We present the suggestions for future directions across the four themes: (1) the demography of multiraciality is changing along with that of America, (2) the challenges parents in multiracial families face and the role they play in buffering adversity and promoting resilience; (3) health and well-being of multiracial families, and (4) the strengths of multiracial families across family life stages.

我们在结束本期关于多种族家庭的特刊时，就与多种族家庭相关的未来研究和实践提出了一些建议。基于更广泛的文献和特别部分的具体贡献，我们针对引言中确定的四个主题提出了六项建议。首先，我们建议需要分解“多种族家庭”，以更好地了解这些不同家庭结构中发生的动态。接下来，进一步研究与跨不同家庭阶段过渡相关的双重现实和压力源将提供信息。第三，对促进跨家庭过渡的积极多种族夫妻关系体验的因素进行额外的实证调查，一起将进一步阐明双重现实，并可以为促进复原力的育儿和相关干预措施提供信息。第四，特别是如果大型数据集包含有关家庭结构、种族背景和相关因素的信息，研究人员可以调查影响多种族家庭健康结果的内部和外部因素。最后，我们呼吁加强对跨阶段或个人和家庭发展的多种族家庭的研究，并敦促在呈现多种族家庭生活的积极和消极方面时保持平衡。我们针对四个主题提出未来方向的建议：（1）多种族人口结构随着美国人口结构的变化而变化，(2) 多种族家庭中的父母所面临的挑战以及他们在缓冲逆境和促进复原力方面所起的作用；(3) 多种族家庭的健康和福祉，以及 (4) 多种族家庭在整个家庭生活阶段的优势。
