“Being in the system is really difficult and…I wouldn’t wish it on anybody.” Trauma and the public sector system of care for youth
Emerging adulthood attributes, discrimination, mental health, and substance use in a sample of Asian, Native Hawaiian/Pacific Islander, and White college students
Although Asian/Pacific Islanders are considered a single ethnic/racial category in national studies, Native Hawaiians/other Pacific Islanders (NHOPIs) and Asians show marked disparities in health outcomes and risk behaviors, including substance use. Currently, knowledge regarding the psychosocial mechanisms by which NHOPI ethnicity is associated with increased substance use, compared with Asian or White, is limited, especially among emerging adul…
The implementation of a culturally grounded, school‐based, drug prevention curriculum in rural Hawai‘i
This article describes the process of infusing implementation strategies in the development of a school‐based drug prevention curriculum for rural Native Hawaiian youth. The curriculum (Ho‘ouna Pono) is a video‐enhanced, teacher‐implemented curriculum developed using a culturally grounded and community‐based participatory research approach. Throughout the development of the curriculum, strategies reflective of the domains of the Consolidated Fram…
An efficacy trial of the Ho‘ouna Pono drug prevention curriculum
This study reports on the drug use outcomes in an efficacy trial of a culturally grounded, school-based, substance abuse prevention curriculum in rural Hawai'i. The curriculum (Ho'ouna Pono) was developed through a series of pre-prevention and pilot/feasibility studies funded by the National Institute on Drug Abuse, and focuses on culturally relevant drug resistance skills training. The present study used a dynamic wait-listed control group desig…
The relationship between ethnocultural identity measures and youth substance use among a school-based sample
The way in which behavioral health interventions are designed, implemented, and evaluated must be responsive to the ethnocultural characteristics of the targeted youth and their families, schools, and communities. The goal of this paper is to examine the relationship between ethnocultural identity measures and substance use among Native Hawaiian compared to non-Hawaiian youth. A cross-sectional analysis was conducted from baseline data drawn from…
Getting In, Being In, Staying In, and Getting Out
Dating is a highly desirable experience during adolescence and serves as an important developmental milestone. This study explored healthy and unhealthy dating as a step toward improving adolescent well-being. Six focus group interviews were conducted with high school-aged girls and boys ( N = 35). Interviews were audio recorded, transcribed verbatim, and analyzed using a grounded theory approach. Youth were asked to describe what dating was like…
The Role of Relational Harmony in the Use of Drug-Refusal Strategies of Rural Native Hawaiian Youths
This study examined the role of maintaining relational harmony among family members in the use of drug refusal strategies for rural Hawaiian youth. Youth focus groups were conducted to validate refusal strategies used in realistic, hypothetical drug-related problem situations. The findings suggested gender-specific motivations for maintaining relational harmony among family members when faced with drug offers from them. Specifically, boys describ…
The Relationship Between Self-Harm and Teen Dating Violence Among Youth in Hawaii
The connection between teen dating violence (TDV) and self-harm is important to consider because of the serious consequences for teens who engage in these behaviors. Self-harm includes nonsuicidal self-injury (NSSI) and suicide behaviors such as suicide attempts or deaths. Although prior research shows that these two public health problems are related, the context in which they occur is missing, including what leads teens to engage in self-harm a…
Drug Offers as a Context for Violence Perpetration and Victimization
Drug use has been linked empirically with and aggression and violence among youth in national and State of Hawai'i samples. However, the nature of this link and its implications for prevention are unclear. Therefore, this article explores the intersection of drugs with aggression and violence by using the drug offer context as the unit of analysis. Native Hawaiian youth are sampled because substance use rates tend to be higher and onset tends to …
Gender Differences in Preferred Drug Resistance Strategies of Rural Native Hawaiian Youths
This study examined the gender differences in preferred strategies used to resist drugs and alcohol for rural Native Hawaiian youth. Seventy-four youth (60% female) within eight different middle/intermediate or high schools participated in 15 different focus groups as part of a pilot/feasibility drug prevention study funded by the National Institute on Drug Abuse. Consistent with relational-cultural theory, qualitative findings indicated how fema…

A Community Stakeholder Analysis of Drug Resistance Strategies of Rural Native Hawaiian Youth
I No Like Get Caught Using Drugs”
This exploratory study examined the use of explanations for refusal as a drug resistance strategy for rural Native Hawaiian youth. Fourteen gender-specific focus groups were conducted within seven middle or intermediate schools on the Island of Hawai'i (N = 64). Participants were asked to describe drug resistance strategies in response to 15 hypothetical culturally specific drug-related problem scenarios developed from earlier research. The findi…
The Need to Consider Ethnocultural Context in Prevention Programming
Objective: This article highlights the importance of incorporating ethnocultural contexts in prevention research and programming. We provide a case example from our research in youth violence prevention in Hawai‘i. Methods: Data were collected in multiethnic communities on O‘ahu. Focus groups were conducted with high school-aged youths of Native Hawaiian, Filipino, and Samoan ancestry. Results: In analyzing narrative data regarding the broad them…
Social Ecological Determinants of Youth Violence Among Ethnically Diverse Asian and Pacific Islander Students
A Typology and Analysis of Drug Resistance Strategies of Rural Native Hawaiian Youth
Gender Differences in Drug Offers of Rural Hawaiian Youths
This study examined the gender differences in drug-offer situations of Native Hawaiian youths in rural communities. Youths from seven middle or intermediate schools (N 194) on the Big Island of Hawai'i completed a survey that focused on the drug offers they had received. Multivariate and bivariate analyses indicated that the girls received significantly more drug offers than did the boys in the sample and found it more difficult to refuse drugs i…
Community Risk and Resiliency Factors Related to Drug Use of Rural Native Hawaiian Youth
This exploratory, qualitative study examined the community-based risk and resiliency factors related to the drug use of rural Native Hawaiian youth. Forty-seven youth from five middle schools participated in focus groups that examined the ecological context of drug use for rural Hawaiian youth. Findings indicated that youth in the study were part of large extended networks of families and that these networks became a defining characteristic of th…

This qualitative study examined how Native Hawaiian youth from rural communities utilized cultural practices to promote drug resistance and/or abstinence. Forty-seven students from 5 different middle schools participated in gender specific focus groups that focused on the cultural and environmental contexts of drug use for Native Hawaiian youth. The findings described culturally specific activities that participants used in drug related problem s…
The development and initial validation of the Hawaiian Youth Drug Offers Survey (Hydos)
The survey helps to fill the gap in information related to drug use of Native Hawaiian youth and has implications for the development and assessment of culturally-specific drug prevention programs for these youth
Moving Toward Comprehensiveness and Sustainability in a Social Ecological Approach to Youth Violence Prevention
Youth violence is a serious public health problem affecting communities across the United States. The use of a social ecological approach has helped reduce its prevalence. However, those who have put the approach into practice often face challenges to effective implementation. Addressing social ecology in all its complexity presents one obstacle; the ability of private non‐profit and public agencies to sustain such comprehensive efforts presents …
