ABSTRACT
The authors examined perspectives of health care providers (HCPs) who serve Native Hawaiian and Pacific Islander (NH/PI) adolescents to inform the adaption of an existing American Indian and Alaska Native-specific gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) risk reduction and preconception counseling program entitled Stopping GDM, for NH/PI adolescents. Hawai'i-based HCPs (n=14) who care for NH/PI adolescent females volunteered for this expert panel focus group study. These HCP participants served as an expert panel specific to their experiences in providing primary care and reproductive health care/family planning, and their perspectives regarding GDM risk reduction for NH adolescents. Several key themes emerged from these expert panel focus groups (1) importance of multi-generational family involvement and support; (2) need to address the social determinants of health; (3) strengths-based strategies and recommendations to engage adolescents in a preconception counseling and GDM risk-reduction education program. Findings will inform the adaptation of Stopping GDM into a more holistic, multi-level, strengths-based, culturally tailored GDM risk reduction intervention that fosters empowerment and builds on the resilience of NH/PI communities.
