This document summarizes the recommendations from the very first national convening of the Native Hawaiian and Pacific Islander Health Brain Trust on Data & Research held in Las Vegas, Nevada, April 14-16, 2009. There is an urgent need for more baseline data and evidence-based research on the health and healthcare issues of the NHPI population. There are large data gaps regarding the NHPI population in federally funded surveys or studies. In such studies or surveys the NHPI category is generally nonexistent, lumped together with Asian Americans, or minimally represented in data presentation formats. It is important to utilize data and research as tools to help ensure access to quality primary and preventive services, especially for communities of color and indigenous peoples such as the NHPI population.
