Research Report
The COVID-19 pandemic had a devastating toll on the Native Hawaiian and Pacific Islander (NHPI) community. In 13 of the 19 states that disaggregated NHPI data, including California, NHPIs had the highest COVID-19 cases and death rates of any racial and ethnic group. However, in many data sources, NHPIs are absorbed into other racial and ethnic groups, such as Asian, masking COVID’s true impact on the NHPI community.

Fact Sheet
The data presented in this fact sheet highlight strengths and assets and some of the barriers that Native Hawaiian and Pacific Islander (NHPI) children, youth, and families face in California that shape their health and well-being, as well as community-defined protective factors that help address and mitigate inequities.

Journal Article
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.

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
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.

Fact Sheet
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.

Journal Article
Rates of COVID-19 infections, hospitalizations, and deaths differ across racial and ethnic groups in the United States and disproportionately affect minority communities.

Journal Article
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.
