Padres Preparados, Jóvenes Saludables

Back to Teams

Padres Preparados, Jóvenes Saludables is a culturally grounded, family-skills health app for Latino immigrant families with adolescents. This open-source app aims to combat obesity in children by improving fathers’ or male caregivers’ positive parenting practices. The app includes a wellness curriculum, a food resource library, bi-directional text messaging, video, audio, and evaluations. The team conducted an initial research study with 25 Latino families in Minnesota and the DMV area, which garnered 1,274 views of the app.
