Optimizing the Floreciendo Sexual and Reproductive Health Workshop for Latina Teens and Female Caregivers: A Pilot

Inclusion criteria for teens:

1. Identify as Latina
2. Be 14-18 years old
3. Speak English and/or Spanish
4. Be available and have a female caregiver who is available for the workshop and research activities.
5. Be living with or in daily contact with the female caregiver.

Inclusion criteria for female caregivers:

1. Be the mother or a female caregiver (e.g., aunt, sister, grandmother) of a Latina teen (aged 14-18 years old)
2. Be 19 years old or older
3. Speak English and/or Spanish
4. Be available and have a teen who is available for the workshop and research activities.
5. Be living with or in daily contact with the Latina teen.

Latina teens and female caregivers must agree to participate as a dyad, and teens' refusal will supersede parental consent.

Exclusion Criteria:

Teens and caregivers will be excluded if they are unable to understand the consent/assent process and provide informed consent/assent or if they already received the intervention in a previous phase of the research. Teens may or may not be sexually active; this will not be an exclusion criterium. Information about teens' sexual activity will not be shared with caregivers to reduce consent/assent barriers. If there is more than one eligible adolescent in the family, we will randomly select one to maintain independent observations. Teens or caregivers who become pregnant during the study may continue to participate. Prisoners will be excluded.
