Abstract
Through a co-design and community-based participatory approach with Latino and Native Hawaiian/Pacific Islander communities, we identified key themes for an initial beta version of a mobile health app, including priorities regarding mental health, access to resources, and chronic disease prevention. Social and cultural connectedness and generational approaches emerged as important strategies for successful intervention design and long-term adoption.
