A Mixed Methods Randomized Controlled Trial Evaluating the Hans Kai Program

In Hans Kai, first, participants attend a 2-month Health School to develop the skills necessary to improve their health and wellbeing. The Health School includes sessions on health indicators; nutrition, grocery shopping and meal planning; physical activity; stress, coping, and health (sleep); and primary care through the years. After participants complete the Health School, they form Hans Kai groups (of 3 or more adults) and begin to meet regularly (at least once a month) independently of facilitators, in a self-sustaining model.
