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. We discuss the NHPI COVID-19 Data Policy Lab and dashboard, featuring the disproportionate COVID-19 mortality burden for NHPIs. The Lab democratized NHPI data, developed community infrastructure and resources, and informed testing site and outreach policies related to health equity.
截至 2021 年 3 月,美国的夏威夷原住民和太平洋岛民(NHPIs)已有 800 多人死于 COVID-19,在报告有 NHPIs 死亡的 20 个美国州中的 18 个州,这是最高的人均死亡率。然而,在政策讨论中却忽视了 NHPIs 的风险。我们讨论了 NHPIs COVID-19 数据政策实验室和仪表板,该仪表板突出显示了 NHPIs 不成比例的 COVID-19 死亡率负担。该实验室使 NHPIs 数据民主化,开发了社区基础设施和资源,并为与健康公平相关的检测站点和外展政策提供了信息。
