Abstract
OBJECTIVE: To document food insecurity prevalence among a nationally representative sample of Native Hawaiian and Pacific Islander (NHPI) adults and compare differences in food security status across races/ethnicities in the US. METHODS: Using 2014 National Health Interview Survey and 2014 NHPI-National Health Interview Survey data, food insecurity among the NHPI population is described and food security status across racial/ethnic groups is compared using Rao-Scott chi-square and multinomial logistic regression. RESULTS: Food insecurity prevalence was 20.5% among NHPI adults, and NHPI had significantly higher odds of experiencing low and very low food security than white individuals. Food insecurity among Hispanic individuals, black people, and other races/ethnicities was also significantly higher than that among white people. Significant variation in food security status was observed by race/ethnicity (P < .001). CONCLUSIONS AND IMPLICATIONS: This study provides documentation of food insecurity prevalence among NHPI adults and will inform chronic disease and nutrition research and programs conducted with NHPI communities in the US.
