Waianae Coast Comprehensive Health Center created a song contest where residents could submit their pieces, and win up to $100.
The goal of the COVID-19 lyric contest was to engage the community, explained Jacob Schafer, the Director of Infection Control at the health center.
“We had really a number of great entries of original song that we shared, really trying to rope in the community and that vocal institutional knowledge in helping develop culturally appropriate messaging,” he said.
Another cultural message Waianae Coast Comprehensive Center used, was urging people to not participate in cockfights -also known as “chicken derbies.”
“We have a lot of chicken derbies, and we talked about chicken derbies and how they can be super spreader events,” Schafer said.
