First seen Aug 03, 2026 · Last updated Aug 04, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This trial tests a program designed for Latino fathers to help them reduce risky sexual behaviors, substance abuse, and domestic violence, and improve communication with their sons. The program combines two behavioral interventions: one that teaches fathers about HIV prevention and healthy relationships, and another that helps parents talk to their teens about sex. The study involves Latino fathers living in Miami-Dade who have sons aged 11-17, and it measures changes in fathers' behaviors, HIV knowledge, and family communication.
