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.
