Toward better data disaggregation: A person-centered approach to understanding AANHPI sociodemographic diversity in resource constrained times.
Article in PloS one, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
backgroundEach year, the United States loses billions of dollars due to health inequities. Data disaggregation is essential for understanding the health status and needs of populations to identify these inequities and inform efficient resource allocation. For example, aggregating data from people identifying with Asian, Native Hawaiian, and other Pacific Islander (AANHPI) communities may inhibit the identification of important health challenges within this large and diverse community, impeding meaningful progress toward reducing differences in health outcomes.
methodsThis study employed Latent Class Analysis (LCA) to identify meaningful subgroups within the AANHPI population. Two studies were conducted: Study 1 analyzed data from the Amplify AAPI Survey, which included 1,026 AANHPI adults, while Study 2 utilized the 2023 National Survey of Health Attitudes (NSHA) with a sample of 318 AANHPI respondents. Both studies collected comprehensive sociodemographic measures, including educational attainment, household income, and employment status.
resultsStudy 1 identified four latent classes, revealing heterogeneity within the AANHPI sample based on income, education, language use, and generational status. Class characteristics highlighted variations in age, marital status, and employment. Study 2 identified two classes: high socioeconomic status (SES) and low SES. Class characteristics demonstrated differences in age distribution, homeownership, and perceptions of community well-being.
conclusionThis study demonstrated the feasibility and utility of a person-centered analytic approach like LCA to identify meaningful subgroups within an aggregated population. These findings join a growing body of evidence that emphasizes the complexity within the AANHPI population and the importance of data disaggregation in public health. These insights are crucial for informing targeted interventions and optimizing resource allocation to effectively address health disparities.
