Native Hawaiian and Pacific Islander National Health Interview Survey: Data Collection in Small Populations

U.S. Department of Health and Human Services - Office of Minority Health
The Native Hawaiian and Pacific Islander National Health Interview Survey: Data Collection in Small Populations

The National Center for Health Statistics at the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention released data from the Native Hawaiian and Pacific Islander (NHPI) National Health Interview Survey (NHIS) which was jointly supported by the Office of Minority Health at the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS). This project is the first national health survey to use a sample frame consisting of NHPI households. This project was the result of years of advocacy by Asian American, Native Hawaiian, and Pacific Islander community organizations, leaders, and health researchers, combined with advancements in federal policies on data collection standards for racial/ethnic populations.
