Summary

This trial studies how a program to encourage healthy behaviors (Tu Salud Si Cuenta) works to increase physical activity and healthy eating habits among Latino families.

Who is the study for?
The trial is for Latino families with adults aged 18-65 who speak English or Spanish, live in specific Houston neighborhoods, and are physically able to do some exercise. They should eat less than 5 servings of fruits and veggies daily. Pregnant individuals or those considering pregnancy during the study can't participate.
What is being tested?
The 'Tu Salud Si Cuenta' program is being tested to see if it helps increase physical activity and encourages eating more fruits and vegetables among Latino families, potentially preventing cancer-related diseases.
What are the potential side effects?
Since this trial involves behavioral interventions like diet changes and increased physical activity, side effects may include muscle soreness from new exercises or digestive changes due to diet alterations.
