• A survey of the knowledge,
attitudes, and practices of
formal agency-based service
providers on the Coast with
regard to their sensitivity to
native Hawaiian service needs.
By the beginning of 1983, the first
research effort had been completed and
documentation of this effort was
being produced. The second effort was
almost completed, and the third was
being initiated.
Another program involving federal
funds transferred from the National
Institute of Mental Health to the
Administration for Native Americans
is the "Most-In-Need" (MIN) project.
154/ This program, also administered
by Alu Like, addresses the needs of
native Hawaiian youth through service
t stem change, as well as improved
_alations among community, private,
county, and state agencies. The need
for this program was founded in the
experience that native Hawaiian youth
were particularly affected by
disjointed care from traditional
service delivery systems.
On the island of Molokai, the
most-in-need group was identified by
island human service providers as
native Hawaiian youngsters between the
ages of 12 and 14 years, residing in
the Hawaiian Homestead areas of
Hoolehua, Kalamaula, Kapaakea,
Kamiloloa and One Alii. Puu Huoli, a
subsidized housing project in
Kaunakakai, and the Mana'e (east) end
of the island, were also targeted. An
estimated 2 50 youth fall into the
target group.
Since 1979, the MIN Project has
contacted and established positive
relationships with over 150 native
Hawaiian youngsters. The Project
operated a demonstration summer
program for two years and implemented
a special after-school program in 1981
in the Hoolehua, Kaunakakai, and
Mana'e areas. In addition, MIN
conducted studies in juvenile
delinquency and recreation to further
clarify problems and concerns on
Molokai.
D. MEDICAL HEALTH SERVICES
Among the programs operated by the
State of Hawaii in this area are:
public health nursing, chronic
diseases, and nutrition.
The public health nursing program
focuses on "wellness"—health
promotion and maintenance, and disease
prevention. The program provided
services to 33,268 individuals during
1979-80, through visits to homes,
private and parochial schools, day
care centers, care homes, neighborhood
centers, and nursing offices. The
program also provides ongoing home
health services to eligible people on
Molokai and Lanai.
The objective of the Chronic
Disease Branch is to reduce the
complications and severity of chronic
diseases by providing prevention,
detection, and educational services.
Major activities include:
• Screening for diabetes, hypertension,
and cervical cancer;
• Provision of financial
assistance to those with
end-stage kidney disease; and
• Consultations to medical
facilities about the
rehabilitation care of chronically-
ill patients.
The Nutrition Branch seeks to
promote "wellness" in the State
through good nutrition and the
reduction of the risk of nutritionrelated
diseases. Direct nutrition
services, consultation to other public
and private agencies, and educational
services are provided. Recently, the
Branch developed and distributed a new
publication that is entitled, "You Can
Reduce Your Risk of Disease Through
