Lay Health Advisors for Sexually Transmitted Disease Prevention

Completed · Phase 1/Phase 2

Conditions studied: Syphilis, Gonorrhea, Chlamydia Infections, HIV Infections

In brief

Non-professional community leaders may be at a great advantage in reaching otherwise hard to reach populations for the purpose of advising on sexually transmitted disease (STD) prevention (lay health advisors), health care access, and model health behavior. Latino migrant farm workers are at increased risk for STD and might benefit from such lay health advisors. The study will examine whether this strategy is a useful one for STD prevention in Latino migrant farm workers in rural and small town areas of North Carolina.
