PODER Familiar: Health Promotion for Latino Families of Children with IDD

This study is testing an educational program called PODER Familiar. This program is designed to help Latino families of children with intellectual and developmental disabilities (IDD) improve healthy behaviors. The study is looking at how this program affects parents' Body Mass Index (BMI), their quality of life, and their psychological distress (feelings of stress or sadness) over four months. You might be able to join if you are a Latino parent or primary caregiver, 18 or older, and have a child with IDD (like autism, Down syndrome, or intellectual disability) who is between 6 and 17 years old. The study is currently unclear on its recruitment status and plans to enroll 90 participants.
