Pornography and community standards in Hawaii: comparisons with other states.

This first statewide study, using random phone interviews, found a community standard for the acceptance of sexually explicit material. Research shows respondents are conservative in voting for the death penalty and against the legalization of those drugs presently illegal, even marijuana. In other regards, Hawaiians think abortion should be only for the women to decide and that adults should not be denied access to explicit material that shows other adults in consensual sexual acts. The majority of those interviewed had themselves seen erotically explicit materials, often obtaining it themselves. Only a minority found the material offensive. A review of studies on sexually explicit material elsewhere in the country shows these findings to be consistent with all other communities investigated; none would restrict adults from access to sexually explicit material.

The effect of dietary fat on breast cancer survival among Caucasian and japanese women in Hawaii.

182 Japanese and 161 Caucasian breast cancer patients participated in an epidemiologic case-control study from 1975-1980. They were subsequently followed until the end of 1987 to determine their survival status. Among the Japanese, patients with regional or distant disease had a relative risk (RR) of death of 13.0 (95% Confidence Interval (CI), 4.3-39.1) compared to those with in situ or localized disease, and obese patients had a RR of death of 3.5 (95% CI, 1.3-10.0) compared to non-obese subjects. Among the Caucasians, patients with advanced disease had a RR of death of 4.3 (95% CI, 1.8-10.5) compared to those with in situ or localized disease, and patients with a high fat intake had a RR of 3.2 (95% CI, 1.2-8.6) compared to subjects with a low fat intake. Menopausal status (pre- or postmenopausal) and replacement estrogen use were not related to survival from breast cancer in either ethnic group. When Japanese and Caucasian patients were compared with each other, there was no significant difference in survival between them.
