What this Trial Is About
Native Hawaiians' traditional lifestyles and diets ensured the mutual health and well-being of the land and its inhabitants, which stand in stark contrast to the disproportionately high prevalence of diet-related, cardiometabolic diseases they experience today. In this project, the investigators will adapt and test an evidence-based multilevel intervention entitled PILI 'Āina to improve the self-management of prevalent cardiometabolic diseases and reduce risk factors for developing new diet-related illnesses and implement and evaluate the impact and sustainability of community-wide cooking demonstrations. The objectives of this project are to optimize the effectiveness and sustainability of PILI 'Āina, improve diet quality, cardiometabolic markers, promote traditional Native Hawaiian diets, and improve social cohesion.
