So how does a group which has often been masked by a lack of meaningful data become unhidden? The brand-new Native Hawaiian and Pacific Islander (NHPI) COVID-19 Data Policy Lab at the UCLA Center for Health Policy Research (CHPR) is looking to change that — by revealing targeted data for NHPIs across the nation in order to better deploy resources and other actions to help the disproportionately affected population. UCLA Director Ninez Ponce and scholars from the NHPI COVID-19 Data Policy Lab — Richard Calvin Chang, Corina Penaia, Karla Thomas, Vananh Tran, John Greer, and Nicholas Pierson — discuss findings and data used in testimony before the U.S. House of Representatives Ways and Means Committee, featured in news media, and a Health Affairs blog. This webinar is co-sponsored by the National Pacific Islander COVID-19 Response Team, the Southern California Pacific Islander COVID-19 Response Team, the UCLA Asian American Studies Center, and Asian American and Pacific Islander Civic Engagement Fund, a project of NEO Philanthropy, Inc.
