2. SECTION: POPULATION DEMOGRAPHICS

This section is applicable to ALL Outreach grantees.

Table Instructions: This table collects information about an aggregate count of the people served by race, ethnicity, age and insurance status. The total for each of the following questions should equal the total of the number of unique individuals who received only direct services reported in the previous section. Please do not leave any sections blank. If the number for a particular category is zero (0), please put zero in the appropriate section (e.g., if the total number that is Hispanic or Latino is zero (0), enter zero in that section).

Hispanic or Latino Ethnicity

• 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.

• 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.

• Unknown: Report on only individuals who did not provide information regarding their race or ethnicity.

Race

All people must be classified in one of the racial categories (including a category for persons who are “Unknown”). 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.

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

• 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

• Native Hawaiian: Persons having origins in any of the original peoples of Hawaii

• 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

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: 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. “More than one race” must not be used as a default for Hispanics/Latinos who do not check a separate race.
