Study Groups
Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.
Educational & Behavioral Intervention
Participants take part in Kū Ola kūkākūkā (discussion group) modules-each a 2-hour session integrating a health topic (e.g., colorectal, lung, oro/nasopharyngeal cancer) with Hawaiian cultural content-complete pre- and post-test surveys, draft a commitment contract, and, where applicable, undergo cancer screening and receive follow-up support.
Kūkākūkā Discussion Sessions
Participants attend a single 2-hour, flip-chart-guided module that integrates a focused health topic (e.g., colorectal cancer screening) with Hawaiian cultural teachings-beginning with an 'ōlelo no'eau (proverb) and guided by trained facilitators-to foster peer discussion, deliver key health information, and assess knowledge via pre- and post-test surveys.
