Abstract: Similar to the nation's majority and racial/ethnic minority populations, Native Hawaiian families provide the bulk of care to loved ones with dementia. Limited research has focused on youth caregivers, who are largely invisible to the eldercare service system. This knowledge gap is especially critical for Native Hawaiians who place a high value on eldercare, often provided in multigenerational homes. To address this gap, we describe the process by which a university-community center developed a culturally responsive storybook on dementia targeted to Native Hawaiian youth. The development process honored community-based participatory research principles grounded in the cultural values and practices of Native Hawaiians, active collaboration of an advisory council, and face-to-face engagement with Native Hawaiian youth. Future directions are shared about culture-based programming and evaluation in dementia care that may be useful in work with other racial/ethnic youth and families. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
