Native Hawaiians have a high cancer burden, but few culturally targeted cancer education brochures exist. The authors followed a participatory four-step protocol, involving more than 200 health providers and clients, to develop and test culturally targeted brochures on skin, oral, cervical, prostate, and testicular cancers. The final products featured Hawaiian faces, scenes, words, and activities. They proved more attractive than existing materials, in particular to younger Hawaiians, and posttests suggested good comprehension of intended messages. This protocol may have application in other communities that want to develop brochures that are attractive, acceptable, readable, and useful to minority clients and their providers.
夏威夷原住民的癌症负担很重，但针对特定文化的癌症教育手册却很少。作者遵循了一个四步参与式方案，有200多名医疗服务提供者和患者参与其中，以开发和测试针对特定文化的关于皮肤癌、口腔癌、宫颈癌、前列腺癌和睾丸癌的手册。最终产品展示了夏威夷人的面孔、场景、文字和活动。事实证明，它们比现有材料更具吸引力，尤其是对年轻的夏威夷人，而测试后表明对预期信息有良好的理解。该方案可能适用于其他希望开发对少数族裔患者及其医疗服务提供者具有吸引力、可接受、可读性强且有用的手册的社区。
