Asian American, Native Hawaiian, and Pacific Islander (AANHPI) populations are growing rapidly in the United States, yet AANHPIs remain understudied, overlooked, and misunderstood. During the COVID-19 pandemic, themes from the tragic history of anti-Asian bias and marginalization have resurfaced in a surge of renewed bigotry and xenophobic violence against AANHPIs. In this commentary, the authors discuss the role of medical schools in combating anti-Asian sentiment as an important step toward achieving health equity. Based on their collective expertise in health disparities research, medical education, and policy, they offer suggestions about how to disrupt the pattern of invisibility and exclusion faced by AANHPI populations. They consider ways that representative data, leadership in medical education, research funding, national policies, and broad partnerships can help address AANHPI health disparities.
亚裔美国人、夏威夷原住民和太平洋岛民（AANHPI）在美国的人口增长迅速，但 AANHPI 仍然研究不足，被忽视和误解。在 COVID-19 大流行期间，反亚裔偏见和边缘化的悲惨历史主题在针对 AANHPI 的新一轮偏见和仇外暴力中再次浮现。在这篇评论中，作者讨论了医学院在打击反亚裔情绪方面的作用，这是实现健康公平的重要一步。基于他们在健康差异研究、医学教育和政策方面的集体专业知识，他们提出了一些建议，以打破 AANHPI 人群所面临的隐形和排斥模式。他们考虑了如何通过代表性数据、医学教育领导、研究资金、国家政策和广泛的伙伴关系来帮助解决 AANHPI 的健康差异问题。
