Access to accurate Native Hawaiian and Pacific Islander (NHPI) social drivers of health (SDOH) data is crucial for understanding health needs and shaping effective public health strategies. However, this data often gets obscured within broader racial and ethnic categories making NHPI issues invisible. Moreover, NHPI communities face barriers when published data formats are inaccessible to community-based organization staff. To tackle these challenges, we initiated the Assessing Social Determinants of Health Data Through Local Data Intermediaries Initiative (AHEAD), supported by the federal Office of Minority Health. We developed two community-centered resources:1. The NHPI Data Policy Platform, shaped by 138 NHPI community leaders from 13 states and Washington, D.C., representing nine NHPI subgroups. This platform highlights NHPI priority issues and provides equitable data policy recommendations for advocates and policymakers.2. An NHPI SDOH Dashboard for California Counties, tailored to offer accessible data for community-based organization staff, ensuring better-informed interventions and support.
获取准确的夏威夷原住民和太平洋岛民（NHPI）健康社会驱动因素（SDOH）数据对于了解健康需求和制定有效的公共卫生策略至关重要。然而，这些数据常常在更广泛的种族和族裔类别中被掩盖，使得 NHPI 问题变得不明显。此外，当社区组织工作人员无法访问已发布的数据格式时，NHPI 社区会面临障碍。为了解决这些挑战，我们在联邦少数民族健康办公室的支持下发起了“通过地方数据中介机构评估健康数据社会决定因素倡议”（AHEAD）。我们开发了两个以社区为中心的资源：1. NHPI 数据政策平台，由来自 13 个州和华盛顿特区的 138 名 NHPI 社区领袖组成，代表 9 个 NHPI 亚群。该平台突出了 NHPI 的优先问题，并为倡导者和政策制定者提供了公平的数据政策建议。2. 加利福尼亚州县的 NHPI SDOH 仪表板，旨在为社区组织工作人员提供可访问的数据，确保更明智的干预和支持。
