Article Synopsis
- The study focuses on creating a family-based intervention called Familias con Orgullo to support Latinx sexual minority youth (LSMY) in areas like substance use, risky sexual behavior, and mental health issues.
- The development process involved interviews and focus groups with LSMY and their families to identify key themes and program components, emphasizing safe communication and parental acceptance.
- Initial feedback was positive, as families felt the intervention improved inclusiveness, strengthened relationships, and increased awareness of LGBTQ issues, addressing a critical gap in existing support programs for LSMY.
