Overview
The goal of this pilot clinical trial is to learn if a community referral program can improve services for youth with mental health and chronic health conditions in a predominantly Native Hawaiian and Pacific Islander community. The main questions the trial aims to address are: * What is the best way for a community health center to connect youth with community programs rooted in cultural practices and traditions? * Does participation in community programs engage youth and mental health and chronic health outcomes? Participants will: * Participate in a community program for youth that will strengthen connection to 'āina (land) and culture. Programs in the summer are 5 hours per day, 4 days a week, for 4 weeks. Programs in the school-year are 2.5 hours per day, 2 days a week, for 16 weeks. * Take surveys on their demographics, general well-being, mental health, and chronic health conditions they may have at 4 different times: Before the program begins, immediately after the program finishes, 3-4 months after finishing, and 6-8 months after finishing. * Have an adult family member complete surveys on their youth's demographics and general well-being at the same 4 times
Description
Pilot Clinical Trial Aim: To evaluate the effectiveness and implementation of community organizations' Kaiona Programs in improving adolescent and young adult health and well-being. Objectives: 1. Assess the effectiveness of the Kaiona Programs in enhancing health and well-being outcomes among adolescents using a stepped wedge cluster randomized trial. 2. Evaluate the implementation of fidelity, dosage, and reach of the intervention across different community organizations. 3. Identify barriers and facilitators to successful implementation that can inform subsequent scaling of the program and share results with 'Aha Kū community council members and other key partners
Who can participate
Inclusion Criteria: * youth 12 to 25 years of age; * live in the Wai'anae zip code 96792; * utilize Waianae Coast Comprehensive Health Center (WCCHC) for their healthcare, including the WCCHC School-based Health Centers; * assessed by WCCHC providers as being "at-promise" or having a physical or behavioral/mental health concern that may benefit from further support from Kaiona CBO Programs. Conditions may include chronic disease risk factors such as asthma, obesity, diabetes, or prediabetes, as well as behavioral health concerns. Exclusion Criteria: * Rather than strict exclusionary criteria, we will rely on the onboarding process that allows for screening for program fit at 4 levels: the referring Pediatric/Behavioral Health provider, the Community Connections Manager, the youth participant/family member, and the receiving CBO. All 4 of these levels will need to assess a potential participant as fit to participate. General considerations include ability to work in groups with other youth, ability to be outdoors for hours at a time, and ability to receive basic instruction and complete basic physical and cognitive tasks associated with the program independently. All 4 layers will also have the opportunity to end the youth's participation in the program at any point if serious safety or health concerns arise for the participant or others involved in the program. If a participant needs to leave a program, the Community Connections Manager will remain engaged with the youth and family to explore other options through the pilot or elsewhere.
