This study reviewed AANHPI disaggregated data collection methods in large, U.S. population-based surveys, summarized disaggregated data reporting practices in the peer-reviewed literature, and conducted key informant interviews with 23 members of the National Network of Health Surveys who lead state/local and national surveys to identify challenges to data collection.

In this study, authors examined the associations between distress and health services utilization among five Asian subgroups: Chinese, Korean, Japanese, Filipino, and Vietnamese adults in California.

Disaggregation of race/ethnicity in population health surveys was pivotal to understanding the vast differences between the Asian and Native Hawaiian and Pacific Islanders (NHPI) experience. A study using the National Health Interview Survey to compare NHPI populations with Asian populations showed that NHPI individuals have significantly higher rates of cancer, asthma, psychological distress, hypertension, heart disease, and unhealthy body weight.

Little is known about the effects of the Affordable Care Act’s (ACA) coverage expansion among immigrant groups of differing immigration status. Using data from the 2003–2016 California Health Interview Survey (CHIS), authors compare changes in health coverage and access to care among immigrants in California before and after implementation of the ACA.

American Indian and Alaska Native (AIAN) people are underrepresented and often invisible in public health data and research. AIAN health data capacity is impeded by the quality of information collected, released, and reported on AIANs in population-based surveys. AIANs are either put in a residual “other” category or, typically, depicted as single-race non-Latinx AIANs.

To address concerns that the Hospital Readmissions Reduction Program (HRRP) unfairly penalized safety net hospitals treating patients with high social and functional risks, Medicare recently modified HRRP to compare hospitals with similar proportions of high-risk, dual-eligible patients ("peer group hospitals"). Whether the change fully accounts for patients' social and functional risks is unknown.

The purpose of the current study was to identify barriers faced by women whose cancer has metastasized, and to propose possible solutions for system or policy changes that can improve care for metastatic breast cancer patients.

Study focus: Determine the impact of data disaggregation on the ability to identify health disparities and needs for future research of Filipino, Vietnamese, Chinese, Japanese, and Korean adults in California. Participants: Using available data for the above groups from the 2011-2017 California Health Interview Survey.
