Heart disease and associated risk factors among Hawaiians: culturally responsive strategies.

N Mokuau1, C K Hughes, J U Tsark.   

Abstract

The incidence of heart disease is disproportionately large among the Hawaiian population. This article discusses the prevalence of heart disease and associated risk factors among Hawaiians and identifies barriers to health care, including accessibility and the acceptability of services to this population. Case examples are provided. Culturally responsive strategies to address these problems are described, and implications for social work are discussed.
