The Ku Ola Project: Enhancing Health Promotion Among Native Hawaiian Men.

Primary outcomes

1. Surveys

   Time frame: Pretest immediately before each module and post-test immediately after completion (within the same day).

   Participants complete pretest and post-test surveys gathering demographic data and module-specific health information and knowledge to evaluate program effectiveness.

2. Commitment Contract

   Time frame: From immediately after the post-test survey to the six-month follow-up call.

   After completing the post-test survey, participants draft a commitment contract proposing a specific health behavior change and leave their contact information so Kū Ola staff can follow up six months later to offer support and collect outcome data.

3. Evaluation:

   Time frame: Immediately following each session.

   After each session, participants complete short-answer and multiple-choice evaluation questions assessing how well the session fostered health-related communication and their perceived learning.

4. Screening

   Time frame: Within six months of the commitment contract.

   The proportion of eligible participants who complete their committed cancer screening test (e.g., FIT or PSA) as recorded by the PI and communicated to primary care physicians.

5. Discussion

   Time frame: At the end of each module session (each session is 2 hours long)

   One-sentence description: Thematic analysis of anonymized audio-recorded group discussions and facilitator notes from each module, capturing key insights and participant engagement.

6. Tracking Groups and Facilitators

   Time frame: From the date the first participant completes their initial module session through six months after the last participant completes their post-test survey (estimated up to 12 months).

   Aggregate counts of men reached, number of modules delivered, and number of facilitators trained, tracked continuously in the Kū Ola database.
