According to a new UCLA report, COVID-19 case rates and death rates for Californians from Native Hawaiian, Pacific Islander and Asian ethnic groups varied widely in 2020.
But those variations were not readily apparent to the public because federal and state reports generally present COVID-19 data for all of those groups as a whole, rather than for each of the subgroups individually.
The study, by the UCLA Center for Health Policy Research, suggests that breaking out the data for each of the racial and ethnic groups analyzed by the authors would enable public health officials and policymakers to identify the hardest-hit communities and more effectively deploy appropriate outreach and resources, such as vaccinations, testing and treatment.
