Asian American Pacific IslanderData Consultation Workshop July 15-17, 2002 Washington, DC Mona Saraiya, M.D., M.P.H. Division of HIV/AIDS Prevention CDC
HIV/AIDS surveillance: issues and concerns voiced by Asian/ Pacific Islander communities • Stigma, denial, discrimination: delayed testing and test avoidance • Cultural, social, language barriers: lack of access to prevention, testing and treatment • Providers may not ask patient’s race/ethnicity: misclassification and lack of needed information for prevention planning
Community concerns cont’d • Data presentation: need to highlight Asian Pacific Islanders • Behavioral data: need info. on co-morbidities (e.g STD, TB, hepatitis) and other behavioral and lab markers of high risk for HIV • Resources allocated based on AIDS cases may miss emerging epidemics: need data on HIV-infected and at-risk groups to improve HIV prevention

HIV/AIDS Reporting System (HARS)-Core Surveillance What Data are Collected? • Demographic characteristics • Sex, race/ethnicity, age, residence • Risk information • Potential modes of exposure to HIV • Laboratory and clinical information • Virologic and immunologic status • Opportunistic illnesses diagnosed • Other Information • Prescription of antiretroviral and prophylactic therapies • Use of medical and substance abuse treatment services • Health insurance coverage
Supplementary Surveys • Record reviews • ASD (Adult/Adolescent Spectrum of Disease) • SHDC (Survey of HIV Disease and Care) • Interview studies • SHAS (Supplement to HIV/AIDS Surveillance) • Persons with HIV/AIDS • HITS (HIV Testing Survey) • Persons at risk • BRFSS (Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance System) • Telephone-based • General population

Examples Special Studies • HIV Testing Survey in Asians and Pacific Islanders (HITS-API) • Young Asian Men’s Study Oversampling Persons of Color • Survey of HIV Disease and Care (SHDC) Asian/Pacific Islander- 3% of cohort • Adult spectrum of Disease (ASD) Asian//Pacific Islander- 2% of cohort
Panel Discussion Points • Number and Percentage of Asian Americans and Pacific Islanders (API) in each survey • Statistical reliability of current API data • Strategies and resource needs to increase data reliability • Status of implementation of 1997 OMB standards • and barriers • Methods for improved presentation and reporting of Asian and Pacific Islander data • Supplementary data collection strategies to increase AAPI data • Data analysis methods to increase API data availability
HIV/AIDS Surveillance Branch Response • Participate in forums to hear community concerns • Improve presentation of data; recommend states use multiple scales, insets • Increasing number of states conducting interview surveys; patient self-report of race, ethnicity, sexual identity • Increased dissemination of data; supplemental report series; AJPM article on AIDS trends • New software in 2002; comply with OMB directive
Response cont’d • Promote collection of expanded race/ethnicity data where feasible (e.g. CA had data on 28 categories of Asian Pacific Islanders/Hawaii) • Promote improved disease reporting through cooperation of communities, health departments, providers • Promote use of behavioral and co-morbidity data in epi profiles and prevention planning
