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

Eligible Latino parents of 6 to 12-years-old will participate in a one hour (hour and a half) workshop focused on increasing rural Latino community members' knowledge about modifiable behaviors, such as healthy eating, physical activity, and sun protection. Participants will complete a baseline assessment a week before the workshop and a 2-month follow-up assessment. The assessments will be administered by research staff in person or over Zoom/telephone and will assess the acceptability and feasibility of the workshop and key modifiable health behaviors associated with cancer risk reduction.

Parents for Aim 2 focus groups will be randomly selected from each of the Aim 1 cohorts from those completing all Aim 1 components. Participating parents in the focus groups will be asked semi-structured questions derived from Aim 1 quantitative findings. These questions will further assess the content presented in ProSalud to refine and optimize our culturally tailored health promotion and cancer prevention workshop to best meet the needs and preferences of Latino community members.
