Addressing Data Disaggregation, Self-Determination & Consultation

The purpose of this briefing is to explore the importance of useful and meaningful data practices through racial and ethnic data disaggregation. The COVID-19 pandemic has shown how vital it is to disaggregate data in order to identify whose health, social and economic well-being is most affected, and to develop targeted, culturally informed strategies.

Briefing Speakers:  (Briefing Material)

• Report Findings by Lilinoe Kauahikaua, researcher and co-author of “Data Justice: about us, by us, for us” 

• Importance of data practices for Native Hawaiian health and well-being by Sheri Daniels, Executive Director of Papa Ola Lōkahi

This briefing will examine data practices and accountability of State agencies, offices and programs. Papa Ola Lōkahi and Hawai‘i Budget & Policy Center will present findings on several state agencies’ performance in collecting and utilizing data to efficiently and effectively reach priority populations. Their presentation will provide solutions driven by the Native Hawaiian community to improve the state’s data policies and practices.

No public testimony will be accepted.
