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

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.

Eligibility

Inclusion and Exclusion Criteria:

* We will include adults of any age and sex who are parents of a 6- to 12-year-old child. Parents must speak Spanish and be able to read and write at the 4th-grade level.

Parents who speak English in addition to Spanish can also take part in the study, always considering that the workshop will be conducted in Spanish.

* Individuals who are wards of the state will be excluded from participation in this study.
* If a participant chooses not to take part at any point, they may do so without any consequences or loss of services provided through RCMA. This ensures that their rights are protected, and their decision will not affect their access to any services or support.
* We may, by chance, include students and employees. However, we do not plan on collecting information that would indicate any of these statuses. No wards will be included in the study. Wards will not be included as research participants. Because recruitment will happen through RCMA, we anticipate most participants to be socially and/or economically disadvantaged. Participation in this study is entirely voluntary.
