The Process of Cultural Adaptation of an Evidence-Based Intervention With the Native Hawaiian Community
Background: Culturally adapting evidence-based programs may increase effectiveness, but decreases in fidelity to the original intervention are possible. Objective: We describe the process and lessons learned from the adaptation of an evidence-based intervention, the Savvy Caregiver Program with a Native Hawaiian Community Action Board. Results: We present three examples: retaining an existing activity, revising a core concept as a hybrid with a H…
The adaptation and evaluation of a culturally grounded lifestyle intervention to mitigate the risk of Alzheimer's disease and related dementias in Native Hawaiians and Pacific Islanders
Native Hawaiians and Pacific Islanders (NHPI) have a greater risk of Alzheimer’s disease and other related dementias (ADRD), and at younger ages; yet, they are nearly absent in ADRD research. • A novel culturally-grounded intervention focused on diet, exercise, and social and cognitive engagement can improve the clinical factors of ADRD and prevent or delay its onset in NHPI. • Innovative trial designs to test the feasibility and effectiveness of…
Caring for loved ones as community
Caregiving interventions can reduce caregiver burden and promote caregiver competence, yet caregiving is rooted in culture, with differing impacts of the caregiving role. Culturally adapted interventions may better address the unique experiences of diverse family caregivers. In this exploratory study, we aimed to adapt the Savvy Caregiver Program (SCP), an evidence-based caregiving intervention, with a Native Hawaiian community in Hawaiʻi. First,…
A psychometric analysis of the adapted historical loss scale and historical loss associated symptoms scale among native Hawaiian adults
Objectives: The Historical Loss Scale (HLS) and Historical Loss Associated Symptoms Scale (HLASS) are standardized measures that have been accepted and previously validated among North American Indigenous communities and allow researchers to measure the impact of Historical Loss. Evidence of the psychometric properties of this instrument have not been assessed for Native Hawaiians, the Indigenous peoples of Hawai'i. The purpose of this study is t…

A Resilience Model of Adult Native Hawaiian Health Utilizing a Newly Multi-Dimensional Scale
Resilience has conventionally focused on an individual's ability to overcome adversity. Recent research expands on this definition, making resilience a multi-dimensional construct. Native Hawaiians experience health disparities compared to the general population of Hawai'i. Despite the pressing need to address health disparities, minimal research examines resilience factors that serve as buffers for adverse experiences of Native Hawaiians. The pu…
An examination of the relationship between discrimination, depression, and hypertension in Native Hawaiians
Native Hawaiians bear a disproportionate burden of hypertension. Discrimination and depression are potential hypertension risk factors. Although the relationship between discrimination and depression is well established, how these factors affect hypertension risk in indigenous populations remains unknown. We examined the relationship between discrimination, depression, and hypertension in adult Native Hawaiians. We hypothesized that greater frequ…
A Community-Based Participatory Research Guided Model for the Dissemination of Evidence-Based Interventions
By establishing co-equal, mutually beneficial relationships at the core of the CCM model, opportunities are created for building critical consciousness, community capacity, and social capital. More research is needed to determine the effectiveness of this model of intervention dissemination which may enhance diffusion of CBPR interventions and empower communities in the process

Community-Based Participatory Research Integrates Behavioral and Biological Research to Achieve Health Equity for Native Hawaiians
Native Hawaiians bear a disproportionate burden of type-2 diabetes and related complications compared to all other groups in Hawai'i (e.g., Whites, Japanese, Korean). Distrust in these communities is a significant barrier to participation in epigenetic research studies seeking to better understand disease processes. The purpose of this paper is to describe the community-based participatory research (CBPR) approach and research process we employed…
