Despite decades of research exposing health disparities between populations and communities in the U.S., health equity goals remain largely unfulfilled. Authors argue these failures call for applying an equity lens in the way data systems are approached, from collection and analysis to interpretation and distribution. Hence, health equity requires data equity.

This study describes reporting of an experience of race-based hate but not an experience of race-based unfair treatment among Asians in California and explores the association between this reporting discordance with 1) serious psychological distress, 2) forgoing needed medical care, 3) increased household interpersonal conflict, and 4) feeling unsafe in their neighborhood.

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.

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.

The toll of COVID-19 on smaller communities within broad racial/ethnic categories has been exposed in media reports, memorials, and data collected by special interest groups. However, in many public-facing data systems, Native Hawaiian and Pacific Islander (NHPI) and Asian categories are grouped together or may not even be reported.
