Article Abstract
The role of genomic research and medicine in improving health continues to grow significantly, highlighting the need for increased equitable inclusion of diverse populations in genomics. Native Hawaiian and Pacific Islander (NHPI) communities are often missing from these efforts to ensure that the benefits of genomics are accessible to all individuals. In this article, we analyze the qualities of NHPI populations relevant to their inclusion in genomic research and investigate their current representation using data from the genome-wide association studies (GWAS) catalog. A discussion of the barriers NHPI experience regarding participating in research and recommendations to improve NHPI representation in genomic research are also included.

Asian American and Pacific Islander communities faced the additional challenge of discrimination that stemmed from racist and xenophobic rhetoric in the media. Limited data exist on technology use among Asian American and Pacific Islander adults during the height of the COVID-19 shelter-in-place period and its effect on their physical and mental health.

Background: Integrative health efforts typically offer clinical services of Western and non-Western origin in a biomedical context. Indigenous communities and other minoritized populations would benefit from improved equity efforts in integrative healthcare.
Objective: As an approach to improve healthcare for Kānaka 'Ōiwi (Native Hawaiians), we explore multi-eyed seeing, an elaboration on two-eyed seeing, emphasizing decolonialism and adaptive use of healing traditions from multiple cultural backgrounds.
