Lack of national data on ethnicity, and scarcity of comprehensive research on health risk and disparities in indigenous people in many countries are serious obstacles to establishment of regional and global plans of action on the health of indigenous people. (who.int)
Gender1
Asian women often have to put their gender status ahead of their ethnicity to get into diversity programs. (institutionalinvestor.com)
Whites2
These rate differences were significant for non-Hispanic whites and blacks and for Asian/Pacific Islander men. (hindawi.com)

Exclude1
Race categories exclude persons of Hispanic ethnicity. (ed.gov)
Census5
Studies show excellent agreement (k=0.90) between Asian and Pacific Islander race in Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results (SEER) registry data and self-reported data from the U.S. Census. (cdc.gov)
A study reported 90% agreement between Asian and Pacific Islander race reported on death certificates and self-reported data from the U.S. Census. (cdc.gov)

Applicants1
Applicants must be a member of an Asian constituency in the Episcopal Church and have begun the process of seeking ordination through a local Episcopal diocese. (collegescholarships.com)
Data6
2 Although registries use standardized data items and codes for both race and ethnicity, the initial collection of this information by health care facilities and practitioners and the procedures for assigning and verifying codes for race and ethnicity are not well standardized. (cdc.gov)
Due to a coding issue reported by North Dakota and Wisconsin after data submission, state- and county-specific counts and rates by race and ethnicity are not presented for North Dakota. (cdc.gov)
Although central cancer registries have designated codes for race that allow them to document the occurrence of cancer in 25 Asian and Pacific Islander subpopulations, 2 the subpopulations are grouped into a single Asian and Pacific Islander category because of small numbers and concerns regarding possible misclassification of race data, and restricted to non-Hispanic persons. (cdc.gov)
SUMMARY: This document provides additional guidance and instruction for using the revised minimum standards for maintaining, collecting, and presenting data on race and ethnicity found in the PHS 398 (rev. 5/01) and PHS 2590 (rev.5/01) instructions and forms https://grants.nih.gov/grants/forms.htm . (nih.gov)
Note: Individuals from the Philippine Islands have been recorded as Pacific Islanders in previous data collection strategies. (nih.gov)
We eliminated participants missing data on self-reported race and ethnicity (n=15) or self-reported injury (n=11) for a final n of 1,568. (cdc.gov)
Rates3
For cases reported in 1999, Kansas opted not to present state- and county-specific counts and rates for non-Hispanic Asian and Pacific Islander persons. (cdc.gov)
Rates were examined by race and ethnicity and county-level social determinants of health (e.g., income inequality and treatment provider availability). (cdc.gov)

Percent1
