“…Of particular concern are NHPIs' elevated prevalence of conventional cigarette use as NHPI adults have been shown to have increased rates of cigarette smoking (Martell et al, 2016)an established e-cigarette risk factor (Chapman & Wu, 2014) compared to other US racial groups. This heightened ecigarette risk is most apparent in a recent dataset where NHPI adults reported higher prevalence of e-cigarette use (5.6%) vs. African Americans (2.1%) and Latinas/os (2.2%) (Narcisse et al, 2020).…”

Background: E-cigarette use is rapidly increasing among US young adults, heightening their risk for vaping-related illnesses. Yet, little is known about e-cigarette use among young adult Native Hawaiians and Pacific Islanders (NHPI): an indigenous-colonized US racial group rarely described in research literature. This exploratory study provides the first known data on e-cigarette use and potential risk factors in NHPI young adults. Method: Self-report data were collected from 143 NHPI young adults (age 18-30 years) living in two large NHPI communities: Samoans in urban Los Angeles County and Marshallese in rural Arkansas. We assessed rates of e-cigarette, cigarette, alcohol, and marijuana use, and positive and negative outcome expectancies from e-cigarettes, that is expected outcomes from e-cigarette use. To identify potential risk factors for NHPI e-cigarette use, regressions explored associations between participants' current e-cigarette use with current cigarette, alcohol, and marijuana use, and e-cigarette outcome expectancies. Results: Among NHPI young adults, lifetime e-cigarette use rate was 53% and current use rate was 39%. Current rate of dual e-cigarette/cigarette, e-cigarette/alcohol, and e-cigarette/marijuana use was 38%, 35%, and 25%, respectively. In our regression models, current marijuana use and positive e-cigarette outcome expectancies were significantly associated with current e-cigarette use. Conclusions: E-cigarette use is common among NHPI young adults, exceeding rates for other at-risk racial groups. Marijuana use and positive expectations about e-cigarette use may represent potential e-cigarette use risk factors. Collectively, findings underscore the need for additional research to further explore the scope of, and risk and protective factors for, e-cigarette use in this understudied highrisk population.

“…Second, recognizing that often there are not large enough sample sizes of NHPIs collected at the federal level to be reportable or to make informed decisions, we recommend a second round of NHPI NHIS data collection. The 2014 NHPI NHIS has been extensively used to report on NHPI disparities(Narcisse et al 2020). A subsequent iteration of the NHPI NHIS will bolster the sample size and provide more accurate surveillance of NHPI health nationally.Third, when possible, NHPI data should be further disaggregated into subpopulations given the diverse languages, cultural practices, and histories of each of the Pacific Island groups that have been impacted by settler colonialism, militarization, and migration in ways unique to each other.…”

No Equity without Data Equity: Data Reporting Gaps for Native Hawaiians and Pacific Islanders as Structural Racism

Data on the health and social determinants for Native Hawaiians and Pacific Islanders (NHPIs) in the United States (US) are hidden because data are often not collected or are reported in aggregate with other racial/ethnic groups, despite decades of calls to disaggregate NHPI data. As a form of structural racism, data omissions contribute to systemic problems such as inability to advocate, lack of resources, and limitations to political power. We conducted a data audit to determine how US federal agencies are collecting and reporting disaggregated NHPI data. Using the COVID-19 pandemic as a case study, we reviewed how states are reporting NHPI cases and deaths. Last, we calculated the extent of NHPI underrepresentation in communities targeted for COVID-19 resources in California using the state’s neighborhood equity metric—Healthy Places Index (HPI). Our analysis shows that while there has been improvement in collection and reporting of NHPI data nationally, federal data gaps remain. States are vastly underreporting—over half of states are not reporting NHPI COVID-19 case and death data. The HPI, used to inform political decisions about allocation of resources to combat COVID-19, systematically underrepresents NHPI communities. We make recommendations for improving NHPI data equity to achieve health equity and social justice.

“…For example, in HI, though 12.3% of all adults report current smoking, the smoking prevalence is highest for NHPIs at 19.7% (Centers for Disease Control & Prevention, 2015). The distribution of e-cigarette prevalence trends in similar directions, with the highest rates found in NHPIs compared to persons of all other racial/ethnic groups (Narcisse et al, 2020). Subica et al (2020) found a substantially higher rate of past month e-cigarette use (39%) among Samoan and Marshallese young adults living in NHPI communities in CA and Arkansas (AR) and data from a Hawaiian sample of adults (Seto et al, 2016) showed that NHs had the highest rates of e-cigarette experimentation compared to participants from other racial/ethnic groups.…”

Rates of tobacco product use, including the use of combustible and electronic cigarettes, remain high in youth and young adults within the U.S. Though a substantial body of work has examined risk factors associated with initiation and ongoing use of tobacco products, research on tobacco use and associated correlates among Asian and Pacific Islanders (APIs) has been more limited despite high rates in select API subgroups. This systematic review outlines recent research (2010-2020) on the correlates of tobacco use in APIs aged 9-29. To better understand determinants of tobacco use and identify gaps in the literature, we framed correlates based on the National Institute on Minority Health and Health Disparities (NIMHD) multidimensional research framework. Database and author-focused searches were conducted, followed by article abstract and full-text reviews, much of which were guided by a discrete set of inclusionary and exclusionary criteria related to tobacco use and youth/young adults. A total of 24 articles were included in this review. The majority of articles focused on individual-level correlates, with a high number of studies demonstrating association between behavioral and sociocultural factors and tobacco product use behavior. Interpersonal factors also made up a substantial portion of the literature, commonly focusing on peer, family, and social norms. Gaps related to the NIMHD model are addressed. Future research should examine biological and community/societal factors associated with API smoking to better understand unique correlates in this population and to inform tobacco prevention and intervention approaches. Public Health SignificanceThis systematic review provides an updated overview of recent research related to correlates of tobacco use in Asian and Pacific Islander youth and young adults. We used the National Institute on Minority Health and Health Disparities (NIMHD) multidimensional research framework to outline the current research base and identify gaps in the literature.
