Data Collection Tool
The Mapping Medicare Disparities (MMD) Population View provides a user-friendly way to explore and better understand disparities in chronic diseases, and allows users to: (1) visualize health outcome measures at a national, state, or county level; (2) explore health outcome measures by age, sex, race and ethnicity; (3) compare differences between two geographic locations (e.g., benchmark against the national average); and (4) compare differences between two racial and ethnic groups within the same geographic area.

Peer Review Study
This study examined internet usage of older adults through the California Health Interview Survey to determine how social determinants of health and socioeconomic levels can impact access to health information. The results showed that minorities with lower levels of socioeconomic status were most impacted by a digital divide and access to health information via the internet.

Peer Review Study
This study assessed community factors associated with COVID-19 infection levels and testing rates at the US Census tract level in Seattle, King County, Washington. Through multivariate models, the study demonstrated disparities for communities of color within the county, for risk of exposure, transmission, and in testing rates. The results show a need for increased education, training, and disease control resources for communities with low socioeconomic status and vulnerable populations.

Peer Review Study
This study details a national, state-level analysis of COVID-19 infection and mortality disparities between ethnic and racial subgroups using data from the COVID Tracking Project. Results found significantly higher rates of COVID-19 infections among Hispanic and African American populations. A choropleth map of disparities in the United States was produced as part of the study.

Summary Report/Recommendations
This article documents the efforts of the Native Hawaiian and Pacific Islander COVID-19 Response, Recovery, and Resilience Team, a partnership of academic, government, and community organizations. Their goal was to analyze the utilization, public reporting, and quality of race and ethnicity health data to inform policy changes and promote equity. Through this partnership, the group created solutions for issues such as aggregation of Native Hawaiians and Pacific Islanders in health data, how data is reported through the health department, and discussions with testing labs and health institutions to create more standardized race and ethnicity data.
