夏威夷原住民和其他太平洋岛民（NHOPI）在2000年被美国承认。作为一个独特的少数民族群体，有着独特的历史、价值观和传统。社会工作专业历来致力于社会和文化多样性，已开始在期刊文献中建立关于这一群体的知识库。检索1995 ~ 2004年发表的文献，共32篇，发表于23种期刊。这占这些期刊发表的5，000多篇文章的0.64%。然而，这些文献中的大部分都将这一人口的信息与亚裔美国人的信息结合起来，从而掩盖了太平洋岛民的独特性。这些结果表明，虽然社会工作已经开始建立一个知识库，证明了一个cormnitment非医院非住院医生，知识的细化和扩展仍然是必要的。作者建议采取三个步骤来完善这一知识库：（1）增加出版物的数量，（2）分类数据，以便将亚裔美国人与NHOPI分开考虑，（3）确保有关这一人群的信息以文化价值观和基于文化的实践模式为基础。
Native Hawaiians and other Pacific Islanders (NHOPIs) were recognized in the 2000 US. census as a distinct racial minority group, with unique histories, values, and traditions. The profession of social work, with its historical commitment to social and cultural diversity, has begun to establish a knowledge base on this population in the periodical literature. In a review of literature published from 1995 to 2004, 32 articles were found in 23 journals. This represents 0.64 percent of the more than 5,000 articles published in these journals. Much of this literature, however, combined information on this population with that of Asian Americans, thereby masking the distinctiveness of Pacific Islanders. These results suggest that although social work has demonstrated a cormnitment to NHOPIs by beginning to establish a knowledge base, refinement and expansion of knowledge is still needed. The authors recommend three steps to refine this knowledge base: (1) increase the number of publications, (2) disaggregate data so that Asian Americans will be considered separately from NHOPIs, and (3) ensure that information on this population be anchored in cultural values and culturally based models of practice.
