64/ See connents submitted to the
Commission. Haunani-Kay Trask, et a l,
s t a t e s that figures on incarceration
are "crucial since they reveal racism
in B**ntencinq and other judicial
policies as well as the overall s t a te
of oppression of Hawaiians" (p. 7).
Louis Aqard writes that: "[High
a r r e s t rates for native Americans]
support the charges of oppression by
the use of racism, and minority groups
must conform to those very laws and
social practices designed to maintain
their subjugation" (p. 30).
65/ Mental health is not discussed
in this section; it is extensively
discussed below in the "Health and
Social Services" chapter.
The entire section on Health in
t h i s chapter was s u b s t a n t i a l l y revised
from the Commission's Draft Report,
primarily as a result of extensive
comments received from Thomas A.
Burch, M.D., Chief, Research and
S t a t i s t i c s Office, Hawaii State
Department of Health. The Commission
is grateful to Dr. Burch for the
time and effort he expended in updating
many of the s t a t i s t i c s in this
section. Dr. Burch also reviewed the
revised draft before publication of
the Final Report.
Readers should be aware that the
Hawaii State Department of Health data
used in this section is not comparable
to data from the U.S. Census Bureau.
The collection method for Hawaii State
Department of Health data is as
follows:
The race recorded on v i t al
s t a t i s t i c s records at the
Department of Health--birth, death,
and marriage c e r t i f i c a t e s - - i s based
e n t i r e l y upon voluntary information
and, hence, cannot be considered as
indicating true genetic
r e l a t i o n s h i p s .
The race of a child is determined
from the race of the parents
entered on the birth c e r t i f i c a t e in
accordance with the following
p o l i c i e s which are based upon the
procedure used by the Bureau of the
Census on those censuses conducted
prior to 1970. If the rar^ of both
parents is the same, the child is
coded as that race. If the race of
both parents is not the same and
e i t h e r parent is designated
Hawaiian or Part-Hawaiian, the
child is coded Part-Hawaiian. If
e i t h e r parent is designated Negro
or Black, the child is coded Negro.
In a l l other mixtures, the child is
coded according to the race of the
f a t h e r . Illegitimate births are
coded according to the race of the
mother.
The races coded on a irarriage
c e r t i f i c a t e are whatever race the
bride and groom recorded when they
obtained their marriaqe license.
The race on a death c e r t i f i c a t e is
whatever race the informant gave
the funeral director who prepared
the death c e r t i f i c a t e.
The race of an individual
included in the department's household
health survey is coded in
accordance with the above c r i t e r ia
based on the race of the
i n d i v i d u a l ' s parents as furnished
by the respondent. Individuals
whose parents are of different
races are coded e i t h e r Part-Hawaiian
or Other Mixture depending upon
the racial mix.
The race item on the 197 0 and
1980 United States decennial census
was based e n t i r e l y upon s e l f - i d e n t
i f i c a t i o n AS a single race so that
i t is no longer possible to get
counts of racial mixtures from the
census. The race items from the
1970 and 1980 census are notcomparable
with the race designations
of the Department of Health--
or any other race s t a t i s t i cs
collected in Hawaii. (Communicat
