{"doi":"10.62547/pwtu1019","title":"Preliminary Data on the Impacts of COVID-19 on Filipino Immigrants in Hawai‘i","abstract":"Racial and ethnic minorities experience high rates of disease morbidity and mortality. Filipinos in Hawai'i have the second-highest coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) cases and deaths. This exploratory study examined barriers to compliance with COVID-19 prevention practices for Filipino immigrants residing in O'ahu and Maui. Cross-sectional data were collected using mixed methods involving surveys and key informant interviews with Filipino community members. Survey responses (n=50) were collected identifying crucial factors to be addressed and preferences for receiving information related to COVID-19. Some Filipino customs and practices were a barrier to complying with COVID-19 prevention practices; nevertheless, cultural sensitivity was stressed for education messaging. In addition, family and community navigators should be equipped with the training and resources to disseminate COVID-19 information within their communities. Attitudinal, cultural, and linguistic barriers to promote health persist for Filipinos in Hawai'i. The COVID-19 pandemic has exacerbated these barriers due to the circulation of misinformation and lack of information among the Filipino communities of O'ahu and Maui regarding COVID-19 and local policies. Culturally appropriate support including providing tailored and linguistically appropriate COVID-19 information is recommended. Equipping or training a household member to help navigate COVID-19 policies as they change aligns with this community's emphasis on familial and social relationships.","journal":"Hawai‘i Journal of Health &amp Social Welfare","year":2023,"id":408480,"datarank":0.0,"base_score":0.0,"endowment":0.0,"self_citation_contribution":0.0,"citation_network_contribution":0.0,"self_endowment_contribution":0.0,"citer_contribution":0.0,"corpus_percentile":null,"corpus_rank":null,"citation_count":0,"citer_count":0,"citers_with_citation_signal":0,"citers_with_endowment":0,"datacite_reuse_total":0,"is_dataset":false,"is_dataset_confidence":0.9519,"is_data_producer":false,"deposit_databanks":null,"is_oa":true,"file_count":0,"downloads":0,"has_version_chain":false,"published_date":"2023-01-01","fair_score":null,"fair_percentile":null,"algorithm_id":"datarank_citation_only_1hop_v6","ranking_scope":"data_only","authors":[{"id":670464,"name":"Angela Phillips","orcid":"0000-0002-7911-1808","position":1,"is_corresponding":false},{"id":1188143,"name":"Julienne Rose S Saladino","orcid":null,"position":2,"is_corresponding":false},{"id":1188144,"name":"Angela U Sy","orcid":null,"position":3,"is_corresponding":false},{"id":1188142,"name":"Danny S Domingo","orcid":null,"position":0,"is_corresponding":true}],"reference_count":8,"raw_metadata":null,"created_at":"2026-07-19T01:21:18.414003Z","pmid":"37304899","pmcid":null,"fwci":null,"citation_percentile":null,"influential_citations":0,"oa_status":null,"license":null,"views":0,"total_file_size_bytes":0,"version_count":0,"fair_f":null,"fair_a":null,"fair_i":null,"fair_r":null,"fair_zscore":null,"fair_rationale":null,"fair_model":null,"fair_agent_version":null,"fair_fulltext_source":null,"fair_has_llm":null,"fair_computed_at":null,"clinical_trials":[],"software_tools":[],"db_accessions":[],"linked_datasets":[],"topics":[]}
