Summary
This study is developing and testing a program called Healthy Futures (Futuros Saludables) to prevent unintended teen pregnancy among Latino youth living in rural communities. The program includes 8 sessions for teens and their parents, delivered in English or Spanish. Researchers will measure how acceptable and feasible the program is, and whether it changes teens' sexual risk behaviors.
