Abstract
INTRODUCTION: Substance use represents a significant and persistent health disparity among Native Hawaiian youth and communities. A community-university participatory action research project was conducted to develop a Native Hawaiian model of drug prevention. METHODS: Ten youth participated in eight Photovoice focus groups. Focus group transcripts and the youths' SHOWED (see, happening, our, why, empower, do) worksheets were analyzed. RESULTS: Emergent analyses are described regarding focus group theme identification and the meaning of each theme. Youth-selected exemplary photographs and researcher-selected exemplary quotations are provided. IMPLICATIONS: Native Hawaiian drug prevention will be place-based in culturally significant community locations, experiential, and guided by multigenerational teaching and learning.
