Experimental Treatment

Group I: One arm pilot trialExperimental Treatment1 Intervention

The developed intervention will be delivered in a workshop format by facilitators, over two consecutive days for 3.5 hours each day. Feedback will be elicited on delivery mode (virtual, in-person, or hybrid) during the co-development sessions. If in-person/hybrid is suggested, feedback will be elicited about preferred location (e.g., a local community center, sports club, etc.). Five groups of 10 participants each, stratified by gender and age (14-15 years old and 16-18 years old; females and males) will complete sessions, in either Spanish or English depending on participants' preference, using video conference tools. Teens will complete a 15-minute survey pre-intervention, immediately after the 2-day intervention, and three-month post-intervention. Surveys will assess acceptability and risk behaviors. As in the published Cuidate trials, previously used measures will be used to document validity and comparability.
