Developing a Pacific Family Model approach to co-design a diabetes prevention programme
Pacific families in New Zealand experience high rates of type 2 diabetes and unequal access to health-supporting resources. Pacific communities draw on collectivism and social capital to mobilise social action. This study aimed to develop a Pacific Family Model (PFM) approach to address T2DM-related health inequities. This study involved an established empowerment programme aimed to build community knowledge and skillsets in health promotion stra…
Native Hawaiian and Pacific Islander community-led survey on Covid-19 and willingness to participate in clinical trials
This paper describes the gap between policy and practice, specifically a mismatch of available resources (for example, personal protective equipment and free COVID-19 tests from workplaces and the federal government) to those at disproportionate risk of exposure and severe outcomes during a pandemic. It also discusses the benefits of having local community-based organizations to help fill gaps in the public health system. Future research is neede…
Insights on wellbeing and society from a Taulasea/traditional healer perspective
Unquestionably there is a need for more Indigenous and traditional knowledge to understand better the link between ‘culture and food systems, diet and traditional practices’ and ‘diet‐related diseases’ (e.g. diabetes), particularly from a Pacific worldview. In this study, we explored the role of Samoan traditional healers or Taulasea with the research question: ‘What insights are contained in Indigenous and traditional knowledge systems that can …
Trauma and mental health in Pacific Islanders
BACKGROUND: Little is known about trauma and its mental health impact on Native Hawaiians/Pacific Islanders (NH/PI), an understudied Indigenous-colonized population that endures severe mental health disparities. AIMS: This novel investigation assessed trauma prevalence and its mental health and substance use correlates in NH/PIs in the U.S. METHOD: Using community-based participatory research methods, survey data on NH/PI trauma, depression, anxi…
Native Hawaiian/Pacific Islander alcohol, tobacco and other drug use, mental health and treatment need in the United States during Covid ‐19
Socioeconomic Inequities in Vaccine Hesitancy Among Native Hawaiians and Pacific Islanders
Alcohol Use Disorder Risk and Protective Factors and Associated Harms Among Pacific Islander Young Adults
Assessing the Impact of Covid-19 on the Health of Native Hawaiian/Pacific Islander People in the United States, 2021
Our empirical findings highlight the acute and understudied negative impact of COVID-19 on NH/PI communities in the United States and suggest new avenues for improving NH/PI community health, vaccination, and recovery from COVID-19
Electronic Cigarette Use and Associated Risk Factors in U.S.-Dwelling Pacific Islander Young Adults
Background: E-cigarette use is rapidly increasing among US young adults, heightening their risk for vaping-related illnesses. Yet, little is known about e-cigarette use among young adult Native Hawaiians and Pacific Islanders (NHPI): an indigenous-colonized US racial group rarely described in research literature. This exploratory study provides the first known data on e-cigarette use and potential risk factors in NHPI young adults. Method: Self-r…
Hazardous drinking, alcohol use disorders, and need for treatment among Pacific Islander young adults
Pacific Islander (PI) young adults are suspected to bear heavy risk for hazardous drinking, alcohol use disorders (AUD), and alcohol-related harms. Yet, PIs remain among the most understudied racial groups in the United States-creating a lack of empirical data documenting their alcohol use problems and treatment needs. The present study presents the first known data on PI young adults' hazardous drinking, possible AUDs, alcohol-related harms, and…
Leveraging community-based participatory research capacity to recruit Pacific Islanders into a genetics study
Cultural Adaptation of Diabetes Self-Management Education for Marshallese Residing in the United States
We identified key cultural considerations to incorporate into a diabetes self-management program for the Marshallese. The insights gained can inform others' work with Pacific Islanders
Cultural Considerations in Developing Church-Based Programs to Reduce Cancer Health Disparities Among Samoans
Our findings inform programming, and our consumer-oriented process serves as a model for others working with minority churches to reduce cancer health disparities
