ProSalud in Latinos Living in Rural/Agricultural Communities Within Moffitt's Catchment Area
Sponsor: H. Lee Moffitt Cancer Center and Research Institute
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.

Aim 1 Workshops
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.
Aim 2 Focus Groups
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.
