NCT ID NCT03199365
First seen Jun 26, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study looks at a program called Tu Salud Si Cuenta (Your Health Matters!) designed to help Latino families eat more fruits and vegetables and get more physical activity. Researchers will work with 80 Latino adults in Houston to see if the program is acceptable and what helps or hinders healthy changes. The goal is to gather information to improve future efforts to prevent cancer and improve quality of life in this community.
