人类迁徙和旅行导致世界各地人口日益多样化。数据收集实践需要适应这些变化，以扩大我们对健康差异的了解，并优化解决健康公平问题的努力，特别是在当前的 COVID-19 大流行等公共卫生紧急情况期间。尽管美国人口日益多样化，但自 20 世纪 70 年代以来，美国的种族和族裔分类一直未能发展。目前普遍收集的类别不足以准确描述不同群体的经济、教育和社会政治状况。此外，这些类别几乎没有为卫生政策提供实用信息。应定期收集更具预测性和可操作性的变量，以提高健康干预措施的适当性和及时性。公共卫生组织、卫生系统和临床提供者立即采用主要/首选语言和出生/原籍国收集将是具体且有价值的第一步。
Human migration and travel are leading to increasingly diverse populations throughout the world. Data collection practices need to adapt to these changes to expand our understanding of health disparities and to optimize the efforts to address health equity, particularly during public health emergencies such as the current COVID-19 pandemic. Race and ethnicity classifications in the United States have failed to evolve since the 1970s despite an increasingly diverse population. Current commonly collected categories are inadequate to accurately describe the economic, educational, and sociopolitical circumstances of different groups. Further, these categories lend little practical information to inform health policy. More predictive and actionable variables should be routinely collected to improve appropriateness and timeliness of health interventions. The immediate adoption of the collection of primary/preferred language and country of birth/origin by public health organizations, health systems, and clinical providers would be a concrete and valuable first step.
