项目摘要

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): Asian Americans are the fastest growing racial/ethnic group in the United States, with a population of over 14 million that is projected to reach nearly 34 million by 2050. However, our current understanding of Asian Americans is as an aggregated group, and very little is known about the six diverse Asian American racial/ethnic subgroups (Asian Indian, Chinese, Filipino, Japanese, Korean, and Vietnamese), who have a wide range of disease risks, immigration histories, and socioeconomic status. There is currently a knowledge gap on the health of these expanding subpopulations, and there is no information to recommend research agendas, create public health policy, and offer clinical guidelines. Our current understanding of Asian American mortality patterns is distorted by the aggregation of distinct subgroups, the grouping of foreign-born and U.S.- born populations, and the unknown impact of sociodemographic factors. While the U.S. Census first started disaggregating Asian subgroups in 1980, disaggregation of Asian subgroups on U.S. death records occurred much later in 2003, and now over half of the 50 U.S. States disaggregate Asian subgroups. The goal of this study is to examine racial/ethnic, nativity, and geographic differences in Asian American subgroup mortality compared to other racial/ethnic groups (Non-Hispanic Whites, African Americans, Hispanics). Investigation of cause-specific mortality in distinct subgroups, by nativity, and considering sociodemographic factors will be fundamental in assessing and addressing health disparities in Asian American communities. PUBLIC HEALTH RELEVANCE: The current lack of national mortality statistics for Asian American subgroups makes it difficult to recommend research agendas, create public health policy, and offer clinical guidelines for diverse Asian American subgroups. The goal of this study is to examine racial/ethnic, nativity, and geographic disparities in Asian American subgroup mortality compared to other racial/ethnic groups (Non-Hispanic Whites, African Americans, Hispanics).

描述（由申请人提供）：亚裔美国人是美国增长最快的种族/族裔群体，人口超过 1,400 万，预计到 2050 年将达到近 3,400 万。然而，我们目前对亚裔美国人的理解是亚裔美国人是一个聚合群体，人们对六个不同的亚裔美国人种/民族亚群体（亚裔印度人、中国人、菲律宾人、日本人、韩国人和越南人）知之甚少，他们有广泛的疾病风险、移民历史、和社会经济地位。目前，关于这些不断扩大的亚人群的健康状况存在知识差距，并且没有信息来推荐研究议程、制定公共卫生政策和提供临床指南。我们目前对亚裔美国人死亡率模式的理解因不同亚群体的聚集、外国出生和美国出生人口的分组以及社会人口因素的未知影响而被扭曲。虽然美国人口普查于 1980 年首次开始对亚裔亚组进行分类，但美国死亡记录中亚裔亚组的分类却要晚得多，时间是 2003 年，现在美国 50 个州中超过一半都对亚裔亚组进行了分类。本研究的目的是检查亚裔美国人亚组死亡率与其他种族/族裔群体（非西班牙裔白人、非裔美国人、西班牙裔美国人）相比的种族/民族、出生地和地理差异。按出生地对不同亚组的特定原因死亡率进行调查，并考虑社会人口因素，对于评估和解决亚裔美国社区的健康差异至关重要。公共卫生相关性：目前缺乏亚裔美国人亚群体的全国死亡率统计数据，因此很难为不同的亚裔美国人亚群体推荐研究议程、制定公共卫生政策和提供临床指南。本研究的目的是探讨与其他种族/族裔群体（非西班牙裔白人、非裔美国人、西班牙裔美国人）相比，亚裔美国人亚群体死亡率的种族/民族、出生地和地理差异。
