Brief summary: The overall objective of this project is to adapt and enhance HoMBReS (Hispanic Men Building Respect, Education, and Safety within Families /Hombres Manteniendo Respeto, Educacion y Seguridad de Familia), a Center for Disease Control (CDC)-identified best-evidence HIV behavioral intervention designed to reduce substance abuse, family violence, and HIV/AIDS (SAVA) among sexually active heterosexual Latino seasonal farmworkers (LSFWs) in rural areas.

Detailed description: The HoMBRES de Familia project study (HoMBRES) examined the efficacy of a culturally adapted group intervention program with fathers from a seasonal farm working community and an Urban community in South Florida. The HoMBRES intervention study adapted and tested the efficacy of an intervention that can be adopted, implemented, and sustained with Latino fathers who live or work in the farm industry, construction, services, self employed or any other work industry in the semi-rural areas and urban areas of Miami Dade County. The HoMBRES intervention seeked to reduce risk for the SAVA (Substance Abuse, Violence, and HIV/AIDS infection) syndemic among this group of men and their adolescent sons.

The intervention HoMBRES consisted of four sessions remotely facilitated via a well-tested video platform accessible by a link sent to the participants' telephone, computer, tablet or IPad (approximately 1.5 hours each session). Staff scheduled the times when participants will watch the videotaped sessions in order to be available for their questions. Intervention videos were followed up with a telephone call to discuss presentation and respond to any questions participants may have had about the sessions and clarify (if needed) the material covered in the videos via telephone. Video sessions were completed within two weeks time period. Participants in the control group received one single video on diabetes prevention. Both groups were followed up six months post baseline interview.
