DESCRIPTION

NAPIIA stands for NAACCR Asian and Pacific Islander Identification Algorithm. Race--NAPIIA recodes some single-race cases with a Race 1 [160] code of 96 to a more specific Asian race category, based on an algorithm that makes use of the birthplace and name fields (first, last, and maiden names). For single-race cases with Race 1 other than 96, it returns Race 1. Multiple-race cases (those with information in Race 2 through Race 5, [161-164]) are handled variously; refer to the technical documentation for specifics:

In Version 1.1 of the algorithm, birth place can be used to indirectly assign a specific race to one of eight Asian race groups (Chinese, Japanese, Vietnamese, Korean, Asian Indian, Filipino, Thai, and Cambodian), and names can be used to indirectly assign a specific race to one of seven Asian groups (Chinese, Japanese, Vietnamese, Korean, Asian Indian, Filipino, and Hmong). Subsequent versions of NAPIIA may incorporate Pacific Islanders and may potentially incorporate name lists for Thai, Cambodian, and Laotians.

The CCR will be generating this value by examining the primary last name, all alias last names, all maiden names, and DC fathers surnames.

HISTORICAL CHANGES

12/2008 New data item for 2009.
2010 Data Changes: Codes 15 (Asian Indian or Pakistani, NOS), 16 (Asian Indian), and 17 (Pakistani) have been added; code 09 (Asian Indian,Pakistani) was retired effective with Version 12. NAACCR Version 12 changed data item name to Race--NAPIIA (derived API) from Race--NAPIIA.
12/8/11 The NAPIAA link can be and has been changed without warning. It is virtually impossible to maintain links to the websites of other organizations. Therefore, SOURCE section no longer contains the exact url for NAPIAA, but rather tells the reader how to go about locating NAPIAA documentation.
