Diet—Follow these Dietary

The Federal Government currently
funds several programs in the priority
medical health problem areas for
native Hawaiians. 155/ The National
Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute
currently funds two large-scale
programs in Hawaii concerning heart
disease. The first is an epidemiologic
study of heart disease
conducted by the Geographic Diseases
Section of the Honolulu Heart Study.
The second is a high blood pressure
education program directed at communication
problems among ethnic
groups.
There is also a great deal of
activity in relation to cancer in the
State of Hawaii. The National Cancer
Institute, Public Health Service
currently supports almost $2.5 million
in grants and contracts in Hawaii
specifically directed at cancer.
Among the subjects under study are
alcohol and cancer, diet and prostate
cancer, lung cancer and dietary
vitamin A, and clinical cancer
education programs.
E. FAMILY HEALTH SERVICES
The Family Health Services Division
of the Hawaii State Department of
Health offers several programs. Among
them are: maternal and child health,
school health, crippled children
services, and community services for
the developmentally disabled.
The goal of the Maternal and Child
Health Branch is to "interrupt the
cycle of medical and psychosocial
problems which tend to be passed from
one generation to another, particularly
in the more disadvantaged
families." 156/ In order to reach
this goal, programs are offered in the
areas of family planning, perinatal
care, and growth and development from
infancy through adolescence. The
combined programs serve approximately
45,000 individual clients annually.
Specific programs include:
• Maternity and infant care
project clinics for low-income
families in Hilo, Waimanalo,
and Nanakuli;
• Attempts to prevent
child/spouse abuse and neglect
through identification of
families at high risk and an
integrated system of community
support;
• Screening and referral for
vision, hearing, and development
delays of children
attending preschools; and
• Children and youth project for
low-income families in
Waimanalo. 157/
Special mention should be made of a
project in Waimanalo, where the population
consists of a high proportion
of native Hawaiians. The Waimanalo
Health Clinic is a combined Maternity
and Infant Care/Children and Youth
project. The Clinic offers a full
range of services for mothers and
children, and is staffed by a multidisciplinary
team that includes
specialists in speech and hearing,
nutrition, public health nursing,
social services, and medical services.
The Clinic has developed unique
projects in the areas of community
public health nursing, adolescent
health care, nutrition, and dental
health programs. The Waimanalo Health
Clinic is the only one of its kind in
the State of Hawaii and "serves as a
model to demonstrate the ideal in
delivery of maternal and child health
services in the community setting."
