Susana Helm et al. Hawaii J Med Public Health. 2013 Feb.

Abstract

This article briefly outlines a collaboration among communities on Hawai'i Island and a university-based research team to develop, implement, and evaluate a school-based substance use prevention curriculum called Ho'ouna Pono. In addition to providing a rationale for the project, the goal of this paper is fourfold. First, an overview of the Ho'ouna Pono research results to date (2007-2013) is provided. Second, within this overview, the ways in which selected results informed program development are highlighted. Third, the curriculum is briefly described, and finally, the role of the students and community in the video production is described.
