This study doesn't follow the usual testing phases — it may be an observational study or a different type of research.
This pilot study is testing whether Kaiona Programs—community-based initiatives rooted in Native Hawaiian cultural values—can help young people manage chronic health conditions like asthma, obesity, and prediabetes, as well as mental health challenges. The study will enroll about 100 youth ages 12 to 25 from the Wai'anae area who have health concerns and receive care at Wai'anae Coast Comprehensive Health Center. Researchers will measure whether this culturally grounded approach improves overall health and well-being.
Many young people in Hawai'i face chronic diseases and mental health challenges, but traditional health programs may not connect with their values or community. This study exists to see if weaving Native Hawaiian cultural values into community programs can be more effective at helping youth build resilience and get healthier.
