Interventions
Ola Mau i ka Hula
The first 3 months of the hula-based intervention program was designed and standardized as a culturally-based physical activity (PA) that includes 15 minutes of ADRD education and intervention orientation with 12 weeks of hula lessons. These hula lessons consist of two 60-minute classes per week over 12 weeks. Each hula lesson will consist of 8 participants, providing them with the opportunity to engage-in this social support network. For the remaining 5 months of the Ola Mau i ka Hula Program, hula lessons led by the kumu hula will be reduced to once a month for 60 min. In addition, the intervention group will meet with a community-peer educator weekly over this 5-month period. Each meeting will be 90 minutes in length with 60 minutes of hula practice following the same format as previous classes, and 30 minutes will cover the PILI Lifestyle Plan curriculum and cultural-based cognitive exercises, alternating weekly.
