Abstract:
The outbreak of COVID-19 in 2020 brought significant challenges for Native Hawaiians (NH), Pacific Islanders (PI), and other communities of color worldwide. Rapidly increasing rates of infection and transmission of the virus in Native Hawaiian and Pacific Islander (NHPI) communities and incomplete or unavailable data signaled to Hawai\'i\'s leaders that advocacy and action needed to take place to minimize the impact of COVID-19. The Native Hawaiian and Pacific Islander Response, Recovery, and Resilience team (NHPI 3R Team) emerged from an effort to lead and fill gaps in response to COVID-19. Through the swift, intentional, and collaborative work of the team and its partners, NHPI communities and the entities that serve them were better equipped to navigate the pandemic, improve health outcomes, and contribute to a reduction in the number of infections, a rise in vaccination uptake, and an increase in NH and PI representation on various levels of government agencies. As the world shifts its focus from COVID-19 to broader health topics, the NHPI 3R Team will continue to serve as a hub for the exchange of resources and a model of community-led work that can be used to tackle issues like COVID-19 and beyond.
摘要:
2020年COVID-19的爆发给夏威夷原住民(NH)带来了重大挑战,太平洋岛民(PI),以及世界各地的其他有色人种社区。夏威夷原住民和太平洋岛民(NHPI)社区病毒感染和传播率迅速上升,数据不完整或不可用,向夏威夷领导人表明,需要开展宣传和行动,以尽量减少COVID-19的影响。夏威夷原住民和太平洋岛民的反应,Recovery,和复原力团队(NHPI3R团队)是为了领导和填补应对COVID-19的空白而出现的。通过迅捷,故意的,以及团队及其合作伙伴的协作工作,NHPI社区和为他们服务的实体更有能力应对大流行,改善健康结果,并有助于减少感染数量,疫苗接种的增加,以及各级政府机构中NH和PI代表性的增加。随着世界将焦点从COVID-19转移到更广泛的健康话题,NHPI3R团队将继续作为资源交流的枢纽和社区主导的工作模式,可用于解决COVID-19及以后的问题。
