Covid in Hawaiʻi (East-West Center Insights)
Why are Pacific people being left behind? The host for this episode is Karena Lyons. The guest for this episode is Tim Brown.
Dr. Tim Brown, EWC Senior Fellow, will join host and EWC Vice President Karena Lyons to discuss why Pacific Islanders in Hawai’i have been disproportionately affected by the recent surge of positive tests and deaths attributed to the coronavirus. Dr. Brown will lay out the socio-economic factors that expose Pacific peoples to higher risk of infection, inhibiting quality care and effective communication on preventative guidelines. He will include recommendations to the State of Hawaii that will broaden effective engagement for quality prevention and care.
