“…A consultation process in the form of six focus groups was conducted in the spring of 2002 with Hawaiian, Samoan, and Filipino community leaders and teenagers to elicit feedback for revision on the proposed research instrument [18]. Each ethnic group included one community leader focus group and one teen focus group for a total of 25 community leaders and 13 teenagers.…”

“…Given that Native Hawaiians and Pacific Islanders are underrepresented in the higher education system compared with other major ethnic groups in Hawai‘i (Mayeda, Okamoto, & Mark, 2005), more attention should be paid to enhancing the educational outcomes of these students. Relationship-building may be an important component to the learning styles of Pacific Islander youth (Scull & Cuthill, 2007).…”

Interpersonal youth violence is a growing public health concern in the United States. Having a high sense of school connectedness has been found to be a protective factor for youth violence. A high school course that aims to enhance school connectedness was developed and evaluated to investigate the students' sense of school connectedness and its association with violent attitudes and behaviors. Survey data from 598 students from a predominately Asian and Pacific Islander student body were analyzed to assess their level of school connectedness and violent attitudes and behaviors. Analysis of Variance was used to identify differences in the school connectedness and violence scores related to students' demographic characteristics. The role of school connectedness in the relationship between student demographic characteristics and violent attitudes and behaviors was examined with structural equation modeling. Overall, students reported a moderately high sense of school connectedness. School connectedness was found to be negatively associated with violent attitudes but not self-reported violent behaviors. Multiple-group analyses were conducted across the ethnic groups, which found differential associations between the school connectedness and violence variables. These results highlight the value of disaggregating the Asian and Pacific Islander category and the need for future research to further contextualize and clarify the relationship between school connectedness and interpersonal youth violence. This will help inform the development of evidence-based strategies and prevention programming that focus on school connectedness to address disparities in interpersonal youth violence outcomes.

“…Youth from both sexes must learn the warning signs and inappropriateness of behaviors that emphasize power imbalances between dating partners, including controlling partners through material gifts and emerging technology (e.g., cell phones, electronic media), significant age differences, and perpetuating dependence. There is also a strong need for schools to involve parents in learning opportunities that illustrate how heterosexism limits children from reaching their full potential (Connell 1996); such efforts would require translators and may need to take place off campus in multicultural communities like Hawaii (Mayeda et al 2005). These efforts would also serve as asset-building mechanisms for a broader array of students from marginalized ethnic and class communities who may not be formally defined ''at risk'' by educational institutions.…”

As scholars and community stakeholders continue to understand hegemonic masculinity and its influences on youth violence, it is important that marginalized ethnic groups are not excluded from the discourse. This qualitative exploratory study investigates the ways that hegemonic masculinity impacts adolescent boys and girls from Pacific Islander and Asian American backgrounds. Research findings reveal how peers, family members, and romantic partners impact youths' propensity to engage in youth violence. Findings further divulge the similar and different ways that boys and girls from these ethnic backgrounds conceptualize youth violence, with males frequently using violence to enhance their social status and females relying on violence for protection and/or to bolster their relationship with boyfriends. The study calls for improved structural relationships between schools and marginalized ethnic communities, specifically calling for enhanced programs that address healthy dating practices, homophobia, and violence associated with the body.
