Note. NHPI = Native Hawaiian and other Pacific Islander; PAAC = Pacific Alliance Against COVID-19. The PAAC testing program facilitated 16 064 tests. This table reflects COVID-19 tests, positivity rate, and vaccination status by racial/ethnic group for 18% of the tests (n = 2893) from participants who completed all elective survey questions. The percentages shown for racial/ethnic group and vaccination status are computed among such groups for the overall, Delta, and Omicron periods, respectively. The percentages shown for COVID-19 positivity are the positivity rate for the specific racial/ethnic or vaccination status group for the overall, Delta, and Omicron periods, respectively. The P values shown are from tests of differences in population proportions between the Delta and Omicron periods using the χ2 test.
