Filipinx Americans working in health care are at risk for COVID-19 death but lack consistent mortality data on health care worker deaths. The lack of disaggregated data for Asian subgroups proliferates anti-Asian structural racism as the needs of high-risk groups are systematically undetected to merit a proper public health response.

Journal Article
In this community case study, authors describe their efforts to organize a multidisciplinary, multigenerational, community-driven collaboration for Filipinx American (FilAm) community wellness. By building a virtual, intellectual community that centers on FilAm voices, FilCHA shifts power through partnerships in which people who directly experience the conditions that cause inequities have leadership roles and avenues to share their perspectives.

Policy Research Report
Health data for Asian Americans (AA) and Native Hawaiians and Pacific Islanders (NHPI) are often grouped into an "overall" category. However, when the data for each ethnicity within AA and NHPI populations are looked at individually, or disaggregated, wide variations in health are obvious. The onset of COVID-19 has amplified the importance of disaggregating AA and NHPI health data.

Research Report
A team of researchers examined the state of modern health and health care in California, the historical policy decisions and societal shifts that created the current situation, and trends influencing change in the existing health care environment. They focused on the seven topic areas: (1) health systems and public programs, (2) insurance coverage and markets, (3) environmental influences, (4) chronic conditions and mental health, (5) child and adolescent health, (6) aging residents, and (7) racial justice and immigrant populations.

Policy Research Report
California’s current homelessness crisis is unprecedented. In early 2020, more than 160,000 persons experienced homelessness on any given day, representing a 40% increase since 2015. Effects on individuals experiencing housing insecurity and the community's public health have been profound, including recent outbreaks of hepatitis A and typhus in communities experiencing homelessness.

Journal Article
Data on the health and social determinants for Native Hawaiians and Pacific Islanders (NHPIs) in the United States are hidden because data are often not collected or are reported in aggregate with other racial/ethnic groups, despite decades of calls to disaggregate NHPI data. As a form of structural racism, data omissions contribute to systemic problems such as inability to advocate, lack of resources, and limitations to political power.

Journal Article
Within the monolithic racial category of “Asian American,” health determinants are often hidden within each subgroup’s complex histories of indigeneity, colonialism, migration, culture, and socio-political systems.

Journal Article
The number of Californians covered by Medi-Cal increased more than 50% between 2013 and 2018, largely due to expansion under the Affordable Care Act (ACA). This rapid expansion of Medicaid rolls prompted concerns that Medi-Cal enrollees would face greater difficulty accessing health care.

Journal Article
The authors’ goal was to continue to provide equity-focused data products relevant to public health, but with a more rapid data processing timeframe to meet the immediate insights needed during the COVID-19 pandemic. This study uses data from the 2020 CHIS.

Little data exists on the well-being of older adults from Asian American (AA) communities. Two well-being metrics — receiving needed social and emotional support and current life satisfaction — may help gauge levels of mental health among AA older adults.
