Launch of the Native Hawaiian and Pacific Islander Data Policy Platform

The UCLA Center for Health Policy Research’s Native Hawaiian and Pacific Islander Data Policy Lab as they unveil the Native Hawaiian and Pacific Islander (NHPI) Data Policy Platform, No Health Equity without Data Equity, created to improve NHPI data quality, identify data gaps, and create data systems processes that provide meaningful opportunities for community involvement.

Developed with the contributions of 135+ NHPI leaders from across the country, the NHPI Data Policy Platform proposes a framework to be used by change agents, policymakers, community leaders, and data-driven institutions to address NHPI communities’ data needs.

On November 16, 2022, speakers will discuss the harm created by data systems that inadequately reflect NHPI communities’ challenges and strengths while proposing a framework and specific recommendations for improving data systems for NHPIs.
