Hombres Preparados: An HIV/AIDS Education Program for Solo Latino Farmworker Males
HIV/AIDS continues to be a serious problem in the Hispanic community. In 2001, HIV/AIDS was the third highest cause of death among Hispanic men ages 35 to 44. For this reason, we have developed the Hombres Preparados HIV/AIDS Education Program for Farmworkers. The goal of the program and its materials is to reach the solo male Latino farmworker population with HIV prevention information in a culturally appropriate way through the use of lay health workers.
This program teaches farmworker men about HIV/AIDS and how they can protect themselves and their families against this disease.This program and its bilingual materials are unique because they focus on the specific needs of a migrating Latino male farmworker population including issues related to the Latino culture such as religion, gender roles, and how family influences health behavior. The curriculum includes six lessons intended for lay health workers, and can be conducted in 1½ days. The lessons include:
Training opportunities are available to interested organizations. For more information on the Hombres Preparados Program, please contact Monica Fossi by email at: fossi@ncfh.org
