The National Veteran Health Equity Report 2021 provides information regarding disparities in patient experiences and health care quality for Veterans who obtain health care services through the Veterans Health Administration (VHA). 1 Data on disparities are presented by the sociodemographic characteristics of race/ethnicity, gender, age group, rurality of residence, socio-economic status, and service-connected disability rating, and by cardiovascular risk factors of hypertension, hyperlipidemia, and diabetes. This chartbook focuses on experiences of care and health care quality of Asian American and Native Hawaiian and other Pacific Islander (NHOPI) Veterans receiving care in VHA. Data in this report are from the fiscal year 2016 to fiscal year 2019 Department of Veteran Affairs (VA) Survey of Healthcare Experiences of Patients (SHEP)-Patient Centered Medical Home survey instrument, and the fiscal year 2016 to fiscal year 2019 VA External Peer Review Program quality monitoring program. As of 2017 Asians make up about 5.6% of the total American population, and Native Hawaiian/Pacific Islander make up about 0.2% of the total population. The Asian population is projected to be the second fastest growing racial group in America, only trailing behind those who are two or more races. It is currently estimated that by 2060 the Asian population will grow to 9.1% of the total population in America.
