Summary

This trial studies how a program to encourage healthy behaviors (Tu Salud Si Cuenta) works to increase physical activity and healthy eating habits among Latino families. Improving physical activity and healthy eating habits may help in preventing cancer-related diseases and lead to a better quality of life among Latino families.

Detailed description

PRIMARY OBJECTIVES: I. Conduct formative research with adult Latino family dyads to assess the home environment and current behaviors, and identify perceived determinants of healthy eating and physical activity (PA) within the family context. II. Adapt the "Tu Salud Si Cuenta" (TSSC) intervention to focus on increasing physical activity (PA) and healthy eating among adult Latino family dyads (TSSC-Family). III. Evaluate the acceptability of intervention content, materials, and procedures with adult Latino family dyads. OUTLINE: FORMATIVE RESEARCH: To adapt the intervention, participants undergo immersive assessment over 3 hours which is conducted by research staff and involves examination of the home food and PA environments, objective and self-reported PA, nutritional intake, demographics and relevant psychosocial measures. Participants are also instructed to wear an accelerometer device to measure physical activity for up to 7 days and participate in in-depth interviews over 1.5 hours. PRE-TESTING: Participants undergo two TSSC intervention sessions delivered at participants' homes by trained community health workers (CHWs) over 1.5 hours.
