Over 1500 population database samples comprising African Americans, Caucasians, Hispanics, Native Americans, Chamorros and Filipinos were typed using the PowerPlex 16 and the Profiler Plus/COfiler kits. Except for the D8S1179 locus in Chamorros and Filipinos from Guam, there were eight examples in which a typing difference due to allele dropout was observed. At the D8S1179 locus in the population samples from Guam, there were 13 examples of allele dropout observed when using the Profiler Plus kit. The data support that the primers used in the PowerPlex 16, Profiler Plus, and COfiler kits are reliable for typing reference samples that are for use in CODIS. In addition, allele frequency databases have been established for the STR loci Penta D and Penta E. Both loci are highly polymorphic.

Identification of High-Incidence Populations in the United States for Anti-Epstein-Barr Virus Serologic Screening for Nasopharyngeal Carcinoma.

Article Synopsis
- EBV-related nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC) significantly affects Asian Americans and Native Hawaiians/other Pacific Islanders in the U.S. who lack screening access, and early detection has proven effective in Asian trials.
- Analysis of NPC incidence data highlighted that 10.7% of the U.S. population accounts for 42.7% of NPC cases, with anti-BNLF2b screening being the most effective method, potentially reducing mortality significantly.
- The recommended target group for NPC screening in the U.S. consists of certain ethnic men and women aged 35 to 65, indicating that a one-time screening approach could be both effective and economically feasible.
Risk Factors Amenable to Primary Prevention of Type 2 Diabetes Among Disaggregated Racial and Ethnic Subgroups in the U.S.
Diabetes Care
December 2023
Division of Diabetes Translation, Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, Atlanta, GA.
Objective: Race and ethnicity data disaggregated into detailed subgroups may reveal pronounced heterogeneity in diabetes risk factors. We therefore used disaggregated data to examine the prevalence of type 2 diabetes risk factors related to lifestyle behaviors and barriers to preventive care among adults in the U.S.

Next Gen Hawai'i: Collaborative COVID-19 Social Media Initiative to Engage Native Hawaiian, Other Pacific Islander, and Filipino Youth.
Hawaii J Health Soc Welf
July 2022
Office of Public Health Studies, Thompson School of Social Work & Public Health , University of Hawai'i, Honolulu, HI.
The Next Gen Hawai'i social media project was initiated in the fall of 2020 to address ongoing public health concerns and the need for accessible and reliable information across Hawai'i's diverse communities by strategically amplifying the voices of Hawai'i's youth in their Native languages. The collaborative effort arose from conversations within the Hawai'i's Native Hawaiian & Pacific Islander COVID-19 Response, Recovery, and Resilience Team, composed of diverse public and private organizations involved in statewide COVID-19 response efforts for Native Hawaiian and Pacific Islander communities. Next Gen Hawai'i's focus was on Native Hawaiian, Pacific Islander, Filipino, and other populations disproportionately suffering from COVID-19.

Congenital Zika virus (ZIKV) infection can cause lifelong medical and developmental conditions and management needs. There is limited information on the strengths and weaknesses of the systems of care for addressing ZIKV and other neurodevelopmental disabilities (NRD) in the United States (US) Affiliated Pacific Island Territories. Therefore, the purpose of the study was to assess the quality of the chronic illness systems of care for children with congenital ZIKV and other NRD in the US Pacific Island Territories.
