Publish Date:   March 2025 Type:   Report Topics:  Research, Clinical Studies, Clinical Research, AANHPI, Asian American, Native Hawaiian, Pacific Islander, Health Care, Health Access Ethnicity: Language:   State: The underrepresentation of Asian Americans, Native Hawaiians, and Pacific Islanders (AANHPI) in clinical research is a longstanding issue that has significant implications for health equity. Without adequate representation, our understanding of AANHPI-specific health concerns, treatment effectiveness, and health outcomes remains incomplete. Addressing this gap is essential to ensuring equitable access to quality healthcare for all. In partnership with Amgen, APIAHF is proud to contribute to this critical conversation through this seminal research, with the goal of tackling health disparities, improving healthcare quality, and increasing accessibility for AANHPI communities.   View and download the full report here:
