What is this study about? The CARES HCV study is a multi-behavioral intervention that aims to test the feasibility, efficacy, and acceptability of an educational intervention to promote both CRC and HCV screening among individuals born 1945-1965. The study also evaluates the post-intervention uptake rates for both HCV and CRC screening behaviors 6 months post-intervention. In addition, the study explores the resource utilization and costs of the intervention to promote CRC and HCV screening behaviors.

What is this study about? The Hombres Previniendo el VPH Project is a pilot project with team members at both Ponce Health Sciences University (PHSU) and Moffitt Cancer Center (MCC). Our team is culturally and linguistically adapting education materials about the Human Papillomavirus (HPV) and the HPV vaccine for Young Adult (ages 18-26) Latino Men who have Sex with Men (YLMSM). Working with our Community Advisory Board, our project aims involve an online Spanish survey to understand knowledge, health beliefs, and attitudes about HPV and HPV vaccination, focus groups/individual interviews with the YLMSM community to receive feedback on adapted educational materials, and interviews with community stakeholders working with YLMSM to inform intervention content and delivery methods of HPV educational materials.

Then, individual interviews (N=30) were conducted to elicit feedback on educational materials promoting HPV vaccination uptake among individuals aged 18-26, and HPV vaccination recommendations among health care providers serving adults 18-26.
