In this essay, authors highlight the importance of democratizing data for NHPIs — diverse populations that historically have had little access to their data — in the context of achieving equity in health and the social drivers of health. Authors provide a framework for evaluating community accessibility of data, which includes concepts of data availability, salience, cost, and report back.

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.

As of March 2021, Native Hawaiians and Pacific Islanders (NHPIs) in the United States have lost more than 800 lives to COVID-19 — the highest per capita death rate in 18 of 20 US states reporting NHPI deaths. However, NHPI risks are overlooked in policy discussions. Authors discuss the NHPI COVID-19 Data Policy Lab and dashboard, featuring the disproportionate COVID-19 mortality burden for NHPIs.

COVID-19 case rate analyses often overlook the impact the disease is having on Native Hawaiians and Pacific Islanders (NHPIs). This is due to states and local health agencies failing to collect and report disaggregated NHPI data. This omission likely hides the true impact of COVID-19 based on our examination of the disaggregated NHPI COVID-19 data that are available.
