Dr. Arredondo and intervention staff Oliva Lafuente attended an awards ceremony on Thursday, May 18, to receive funds from the Chula Vista Community Foundation to support an in-person feasibility pilot of the Conmigo intervention.
Our proposal was one of three selected from over sixty applications! From June 2023-2024, we will partner with Chula Vista Elementary Schools and South Bay and Border View Family YMCAs to deliver four groups of the Conmigo mother-daughter health program to preadolescent Latinas and their moms.
The program aims to increase physical activity, family communication, and parenting strategies for eating and activity, and includes new adaptations from the online pilot study, including intervention length and setting. We are grateful to the Chula Vista Community Foundation for selecting our program to be funded!
