Zusammenfassung:Native Hawaiians (NHs) are among the most vulnerable groups at greater risk for coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19). To understand the impact of COVID-19 on the state's population, a 35-question cross-sectional survey was administered across the state of Hawai'i. NH data from the larger report are provided here. The findings indicate that the impact of COVID-19 is disproportionately affecting NH households in areas of income and housing stability, chronic disease prevalence, emotional wellness, and COVID-19 prevention. Short-, medium-, and long-term recommendations are presented as next steps to addressing the health inequities among NHs.
