Promotores Network
EXPERIMENTALPromotores will engage participants using the materials A Page of My Life and the Success Plan. Promotores will ask participants to rank their satisfaction with each of the domains included in the A Page of My Life and ask them what domain they want to change. Using non-directive questions, promotores will guide the participant to draft a plan for success. The promotor/a will follow up with participants within a week of enrollment and at least monthly via phone/text during six months. During the intervention period, promotores will meet with participants (child and parent together, if applicable) at least three times in-person during which they will deliver the short (15-minutes) educational components of the intervention.
Wait-list Control
NO INTERVENTIONThe community liaison will deliver a short (15-minute) educational session on the benefits of a healthy lifestyle and preventive use of health care, and give participants a pamphlet with relevant local health care and social service resources.
Interventions
One-on-one contact with a promotor(a) over the 6 month intervention.
