Welcome

Welcome to the Lifestyle, Culture, and Health Project. We are currently in our third phase of funding (2007 -2012) from the  National Institutes of Health. Our goal is to contribute knowledge about the relation of lifestyle, personality, culture, and health over the lifespan. The project is a joint effort of the Oregon Research Institute and the Kaiser Permanente Center for Health Research, Hawai'i, and our website is hosted by the University of Hawai'i at Manoa.   We are continuing to locate people who participated in an earlier study as elementary school students in Hawai'i during the years 1959 - 1967. We are inviting participants to visit our research clinic in Dole Cannery.  If contacted, we hope that you will join us in this important project and help us to reach our goal of 810 clinic visit participants by 2012.

Note:  Please find our contact information below.  Mahalo to everyone who has provided us change of name and/or address information during the past two years through our Name/Address Update facility -- this is extremely helpful.

Jack M. Digman, Ph.D., our mentor and friend, meticulously gathered the original childhood data for this study during 1959 -1967. Jack was a professor in the Psychology Department at the University of Hawaii before retiring and moving to Oregon to continue his love for research at the Oregon Research Institute.  In 1997 at the age of 73, he was awarded a grant by the National Institutes of Health to begin the follow-up study in which we are all now engaged. We hope that our work will in a small way honor Jack's great contribution to science.
