有近1500万亚裔美国人生活在美国，他们代表了该国增长最快的人口。到2050年，估计将有3340万亚裔美国人居住在美国。然而，他们的健康需求仍然知之甚少，而且严重缺乏按亚裔美国人族裔亚组、主要语言和地理分类的数据。本文探讨了亚裔美国人分类（或粒度）数据的收集、分析和报告的方法问题、挑战和潜在解决方案。本文探讨了通过使用创新的研究设计和分析技术来增加粒度数据的新兴努力。协调一致地努力实施这些技术将是至关重要的健全的研究，健康计划，并针对这一和其他少数民族人口的政策努力的未来发展。
There are close to 15 million Asian Americans living in the United States, and they represent the fastest growing populations in the country. By the year 2050, there will be an estimated 33.4 million Asian Americans living in the country. However, their health needs remain poorly understood and there is a critical lack of data disaggregated by Asian American ethnic subgroups, primary language, and geography. This paper examines methodological issues, challenges, and potential solutions to addressing the collection, analysis, and reporting of disaggregated (or, granular) data on Asian Americans. The article explores emerging efforts to increase granular data through the use of innovative study design and analysis techniques. Concerted efforts to implement these techniques will be critical to the future development of sound research, health programs, and policy efforts targeting this and other minority populations.
