A study published by the S t a t e of
Hawaii Department of Health examined
mortality rates among full-Hawaiians,
part-Hawaiians, and a l l other races
in Hawaii from 1910 to 1980. The
study concluded that:

* Part-Hawaiians' mortality
rates for heart disease were
generally higher than the
" all races" group except for
some years, while the r a te
for full-Hawaiians was
consistently higher than that
for the other groups;

* Part-Hawaiians and the "all
races" group had similar
mortality rates for cancer,
while the rate for full-Hawaiians was much higher
than both of the other
groups; and

* The mortality rate for
accidents did not differ for
part-Hawaiians and the "all
races" group but was two
times higher for the
full-Hawaiian group.

Statistics from the Hawaii Tumor
Registry show that native Hawaiian
men had the highest incidence of
stomach and lung cancer for the
period from 1973 through 1980, compared
to Caucasian, Chinese,
Filipino, and Japanese. Native
Hawaiian women, compared to these
same groups, had the highest incidence
of lung and breast cancer.

The Hawaiian and part-Hawaiian
group reports the highest prevalence
among ethnic groups in Hawaii of
"acute conditions," especially respiratory conditions. For chronic
conditions, the prevalence for the
native Hawaiians is high, relative
to the other groups, only for
asthma, mental and nervous
conditions, and bronchitis/emphysema. Native Hawaiians,
according to this data, report the
lowest prevalence of cancer,
compared to the other groups.
According to the Hawaii substance;
abuse needs survey:

* Of the total number of
estimated substance abusers
in Hawaii (103,748, or 14.7
percent of Hawaii's general
population), 20.9 percent
were Hawaiian or part-Hawaiian.

* Hawaiians and part-Hawaiians
account for 19.4 percent of
alcohol abusers, 22.3 percent
of drug abusers, and 22.8
percent of the population
abusing both alcohol and
drugs.

'''Socio-political Profile'''

The State of Hawaii consists of a
population of considerable racial
and cultural diversity . From the
earliest times, interracial marriage
was accepted by the community.
Native Hawaiians have among the
highest interracial marriage rates.
This racial and ethnic mixture has
affected the political sphere.
Since the 1930's, no one ethnic
group has had an electoral majority,
although ethnic factors do play a
role in politics in Hawaii.

In 1978, the Office of Hawaiian
Affairs was created, which has a
board of trustees that is elected
only by native Hawaiians. For the
first board election in 1980, 31
percent of the total native Hawaiian
population registered to vote, 80
percent of those who registered
actually voted, and 100 candidates
ran for the nine board positions.
The 1981 Hawaii State Legislature
