the rate for full-Hawaiians was
much higher than that for
either of the other groups; and
• The mortality rate for
accidents did not differ for
part-Hawaiians and the "all
races" group, but it 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 ethnic groups,
had the highest incidence of lung and
breast cancer.
The Hawaiian and part-Hawaiian
group reports the highest prevalence
among ethnic groups of "acute
conditions," especially respiratory
conditions. For chronic conditions,
the prevalence for the native Hawaiians
relative to the other groups is
high only for asthma, mental and
nervous conditions, and bronchitis/
emphysema. According to this data,
native Hawaiians report the lowest
prevalence of cancer (as opposed to
incidence), compared to other groups.
For the purposes of the Hawaii
State Substance Abuse Survey,
Hawaiians and part-Hawaiians accounted
for 15.8 percent of the general
population of Hawaii. With this
number as a comparison, the following
data summarizes the findings of 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.
• Alcohol abusers in Hawaii tend
to be older (26 years and
above), male, either Caucasian
or Hawaiian/part-Hawaiian,
married, employed, have more
than a high school education,
and live in East Honolulu or
Central Oahu.
• Hawaiians and part-Hawaiians
account for 19.4 percent of
alcohol abusers, and only two
percent of this group receives
treatment.
• Drug abusers tend to be younger
(under 26), equally male or
female, Caucasian or Hawaiian/
part-Hawaiian, single,
employed, have more than a high
school education, and reside in
East Honolulu or Central Oahu.
• Of the total estimated number
of drug abusers, 22.3 percent
are Hawaiian or part-Hawaiian,
and only 3.6 percent of this
group receives treatment.
• Abusers of both drugs and
alcohol tend to be predominantly
male, Caucasian or
Hawaiian/part-Hawaiian, equally
young or old (26 and over),
single, employed, have more
than a high school education,
and live in East Honolulu or
Central Oahu or Maui.
• Hawaiians and part-Hawaiians
account for 22.8 percent of the
alcohol and drug-abuse
population. 91/

Inter-marriage
In Hawaii, interracial marriage is
recognized in law, and there is no
public opposition to it. Although
there may be personal and family
sentiment against interracial
marriage, this is not overriding. As
