AAPCHO’s Resources section provides information and resources to organizations interested in increasing access to health care for AA & NHOPIs.


AAPCHO's resources range from translated health education materials for patients, to maps detailing areas with medically underserved AAPIs, to listservs that electronically link individuals from across the country.

A Note on Referencing Asian Americans, Native Hawaiians, and other Pacific Islanders:

In an effort to better recognize the diversity of the Asian American, Native Hawaiian and Pacific Islander populations and acknowledge the unique health issues each group faces, AAPCHO will be replacing its Asian American and Pacific Islander (AAPI) acronym with Asian American & Native Hawaiian and other Pacific Islanders (AA & NHOPI).
 
The decision to use AA & NHOPI reflects AAPCHO’s commitment to using an acronym that is consistent with the Office of Management and Budget’s (OMB) Statistical Directive 15. AAPCHO believes this move falls in line with our efforts to promote the use of a common federal standard among all of our partners. Though we advocate for the use of a uniform standard, AAPCHO acknowledges that organizations will use varying terms and acronyms based on the values of their constituencies.
 
AAPCHO will henceforth refer to this population as Asian Americans, Native Hawaiians and other Pacific Islanders, using AA & NHOPI to replace the acronym AAPI in all presentations, publications, documentation, and communications vehicles beginning in January 2009.
