DEMOGRAPHICS

Instructions:

Please provide the number of RESEP program users in your service population by age, gender, race and ethnicity. The number of individuals recorded within each category of this measure is reflective of the total population who have sought services from your organization’s RESEP facility and/or facilities.

If the number of people is zero (0), please put zero (0) in the appropriate section; do not leave any sections blank. There should not be a N/A (not applicable) response since all measures are applicable.

For the number of total users by race.

Hispanic or Latino Ethnicity

• Column A (Hispanic/Latino): Report the number of persons of Cuban, Mexican, Puerto Rican, South or Central American, or other Spanish culture or origin, broken down by their racial identification and including those Hispanics/Latinos born in the United States. Do not count persons from Portugal, Brazil, or Haiti whose ethnicity is not tied to the Spanish language.

• Column B (Non-Hispanic/Latino): Report the number of all other people except those for whom there are neither racial nor Hispanic/Latino ethnicity data. If a person has chosen a race (described below) but has not made a selection for the Hispanic /non-Hispanic question, the patient is presumed to be non-Hispanic/Latino.

• Column C (Unreported/Refused to Report): Only one cell is available in this column. Report on Line 7, Column C only those patients who left the entire race and Hispanic/Latino ethnicity part of the intake form blank.

People who self-report as Hispanic/Latino but do not separately select a race must be reported on Line 7, Column A as Hispanic/Latino whose race is unreported or refused to report. Health centers may not default these people to “White,” “Native American,” “more than one race,” or any other category.

Race

All people must be classified in one of the racial categories (including a category for persons who are “Unreported/Refused to Report”). This includes individuals who also consider themselves to be Hispanic or Latino. People who self-report race, but do not separately indicate if they are Hispanic or Latino, are presumed to be non-Hispanic/Latino and are to be reported on the appropriate race line in Column B.

People sometimes categorized as “Asian/Other Pacific Islander” in other systems are divided into three separate categories:

• Line 1, Asian: Persons having origins in any of the original peoples of the Far East, Southeast Asia, or the Indian subcontinent including, for example, Cambodia, China, India, Japan, Korea, Malaysia, Pakistan, the Philippine Islands, Indonesia, Thailand, or Vietnam

• Line 2a, Native Hawaiian: Persons having origins in any of the original peoples of Hawaii

• Line 2b, Other Pacific Islander: Persons having origins in any of the original peoples of Guam, Samoa, Tonga, Palau, Truk, Yap, Saipan, Kosrae, Ebeye, Pohnpei or other Pacific Islands in Micronesia, Melanesia, or Polynesia

• Line 2, Total Native Hawaiian/Other Pacific Islander: Must equal lines 2a+2b

American Indian/Alaska Native (Line 4): Persons who trace their origins to any of the original peoples of North and South America (including Central America) and who maintain Tribal affiliation or community attachment.

More than one race (Line 6): “More than one race” should not appear as a selection option on your intake form. Use this line only if your system captures multiple races (but not a race and an ethnicity) and the person has chosen two or more races. This is usually done with an intake form that lists the races and tells the person to “check one or more” or “check all that apply.” “More than one race” must not be used as a default for Hispanics/Latinos who do not check a separate race. They are to be reported on Line 7 (Unreported/Refused to Report), as noted above.
