ProSalud in Latinos Living in Rural/Agricultural Communities Within Moffitt's Catchment Area

Study Summary

The purpose of the study is to find out if Latino families living in rural parts of Florida are interested in learning about cancer prevention through our ProSalud program and whether it helps them make healthier choices to lower their risk of cancer. The study will also gather people's opinions about the program to find ways to improve it in the future. For the first part of our study, Latino parents with children between the ages of 6 and 12 will be invited to take part in a one-hour (or one-and-a-half-hour) workshop. The workshop will teach about healthy habits like eating well, being active, and protecting skin from the sun. For the second part of the study, some parents who participated in the workshops will be randomly chosen to join a focus group. In the focus group, they'll be asked questions to help us make the workshop better and make sure it fits the culture, needs, and preferences of Latino families in rural communities.

Primary Outcome

Acceptability will be confirmed if ≥80% of enrolled participants indicate an intention to implement behavioral recommendations.
