Special Issue: Asian American, Native Hawaiian, and Pacific Islander Health

This special issue is a collection of short reports, research articles, perspectives, and editorials on Asian American, Native Hawaiian, and Pacific Islander health disparities. The articles touch on the challenges to AANHPI health, the underlying factors, and the diversity within the AANHPI. In an invited commentary, Ka'ai et al. from the White House Initiative on AANHPIs discussed the urgency of addressing health disparities experienced by the AANHPI communities and highlighted vital policy priorities, including anti-Asian hate and violence, data disaggregation, and language access. The Guest Editors, along with Dr. Monica McLemore, Editor-in-Chief, and the entire journal team acknowledge with appreciation the support from the Blue Shield of California Foundation and the China Medical Board in promoting and disseminating research on Asian American, Native Hawaiian, and Pacific Islander health.

Guest Editors: Dr. Zhuo Chen and Dr. Grace Ma
