(Abstracted from Obstet Gynecol 2023;142(4)) Policymakers and public health researchers often exclude Asian American and Native Hawaiian and Other Pacific Islander (NHPI) people, who make up 6.0% and 0.2% of the US population, respectively, from discussions of racial, social, and health inequity. The omission of Asian American and NHPI populations is multifactorial and includes geographic concentration in certain regions, the high number of cultural and linguistic subgroups bundled together, and the faulty assumption that these groups collectively enjoy better health outcomes than their counterparts of other races and ethnicities.
