Healthy People 2010: Understanding and Improving Health lists 6 areas of disparity in minority health services: infant mortality, cancer, cardiovascular disease, HIV/AIDS, diabetes, and immunizations. This study compiles existing Asian American and Pacific Islander (AAPI) health data to establish a baseline.
For federally-sponsored research (1986-2000), the Computer Retrieval of Information on Specific Projects (CRISP) database was analyzed. AAPI initiatives were divided by subpopulation and disparity area. MEDLINE articles (1966-2000) were similarly scrutinized.
Few federal health-related grants (0.2%) and MEDLINE articles (0.01%) mention AAPIs. For the 6 disparity areas, significant AAPI data gaps remain.
To reach the Healthy People 2010 goals and have useful data, researchers and grant makers must focus on obtaining baseline data for disaggregated AAPI subgroups.
《2010年健康人民:理解与改善健康》列出了少数族裔健康服务方面的6个差距领域:婴儿死亡率、癌症、心血管疾病、艾滋病毒/艾滋病、糖尿病和免疫接种。本研究汇编了现有的亚裔美国人和太平洋岛民(AAPI)健康数据以建立一个基线。
对于联邦政府资助的研究(1986 - 2000年),分析了特定项目信息计算机检索(CRISP)数据库。AAPI相关项目按亚人群和差距领域进行了划分。对MEDLINE文章(1966 - 2000年)也进行了类似审查。
很少有联邦健康相关拨款(0.2%)和MEDLINE文章(0.01%)提及AAPI。在6个差距领域,AAPI的数据缺口仍然很大。
为实现《2010年健康人民》的目标并获得有用数据,研究人员和拨款机构必须专注于获取细分的AAPI亚组的基线数据。
