To improve health outcomes, it is essential to promote culturally-sensitive education and interventions that emphasize the impact of diet on chronic disease risk within these communities. This research paper is about the dangerous levels of chronic disease that plague Native Hawaiians and strategies individualized to them that can help them overcome this issue. 000009274 540__ $$fCC BY 000009274 542__ $$fIn copyright - single owner 000009274 650__ $$aHealth$$019870 000009274 650__ $$aChronic Disease$$016715 000009274 650__ $$aSedentary Behavior$$038887 000009274 650__ $$aObesity$$023118 000009274 650__ $$aHealthy People Programs$$035032 000009274 650__ $$aNative Hawaiian or Other Pacific Islander$$035485 000009274 651__ $$aHawaii$$040988 000009274 691__ $$aSchool of Medicine$$041369 000009274 692__ $$aDivision of Physician Assistant Education$$041465 000009274 7001_ $$aForee, Leesa$$uOregon Health and Science University$$041354 000009274 8564_ $$91e8a2f56-460a-4fd8-b259-c4bdf8505011$$s171109$$uhttps://digitalcollections.ohsu.edu/record/9274/files/Foree.Leesa.2021.pdf$$ePublic$$2f5f68a05eb1ed8dc61384346b015b37d$$31 000009274 905__ $$a/rest/prod/fx/71/9n/15/fx719n158 000009274 909CO $$ooai:digitalcollections.ohsu.edu:9274$$pstudent-work 000009274 980__ $$aTheses and Dissertations
