In this brief report, we delineate important lessons learned and preliminary findings from the implementation of the HIV prevention intervention Progreso en Salud (Progress in Health). Among the 114 Latina seasonal farmworker participants, there were significant increases from baseline to 6-month follow-up in the percentages of overall condom use, HIV testing, HIV\/AIDS-related communications with friends, HIV knowledge, condom use self-efficacy, and correct use of condoms. Lessons learned from this study can be used to inform future HIV intervention strategies to improve the adoption and maintenance of HIV risk reduction behaviors among high-risk Latina seasonal workers and other high-risk underserved populations. Future research is needed to support our findings.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/ijerph14010032","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2016,12,30]],"date-time":"2016-12-30T08:48:53Z","timestamp":1483087733000},"page":"32","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":12,"title":["A Brief Report: Lessons Learned and Preliminary Findings of Progreso en Salud, an HIV Risk Reduction Intervention for Latina Seasonal Farmworkers"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"14","author":[{"given":"Mariano","family":"Kanamori","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Center for Research on US Latino HIV\/AIDS and Drug Abuse, Florida International University, Miami, FL 33199, USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Mario","family":"De La Rosa","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Center for Research on US Latino HIV\/AIDS and Drug Abuse, Florida International University, Miami, FL 33199, USA"},{"name":"School of Social Work, Robert Stempel College of Public Health &amp; Social Work, Florida International University, Miami, FL 33199, USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Stephanie","family":"Diez","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Center for Research on US Latino HIV\/AIDS and Drug Abuse, Florida International University, Miami, FL 33199, USA"},{"name":"School of Social Work, Robert Stempel College of Public Health &amp; Social Work, Florida International University, Miami, FL 33199, USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Jessica","family":"Weissman","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Center for Research on US Latino HIV\/AIDS and Drug Abuse, Florida International University, Miami, FL 33199, USA"},{"name":"Department of Health Promotion and Disease Prevention, Robert Stempel College of Public Health &amp; Social Work, Florida International University, Miami, FL 33199, USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Mary","family":"Trepka","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Center for Research on US Latino HIV\/AIDS and Drug Abuse, Florida International University, Miami, FL 33199, USA"},{"name":"Department of Epidemiology, Robert Stempel College of Public Health &amp; Social Work, Florida International University, Miami, FL 33199, USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Alicia","family":"Sneij","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Center for Research on US Latino HIV\/AIDS and Drug Abuse, Florida International University, Miami, FL 33199, USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Peter","family":"Schmidt","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Political Science, University of Gie\u00dfen, Gie\u00dfen 35390, Germany"},{"name":"Department of Psychology, Cardinal Stefan Wyszy\u0144ski University, Warszawa 01-815, Poland"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Patria","family":"Rojas","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Center for Research on US Latino HIV\/AIDS and Drug Abuse, Florida International University, Miami, FL 33199, USA"},{"name":"Department of Health Promotion and Disease Prevention, Robert Stempel College of Public Health &amp; Social Work, Florida International University, Miami, FL 33199, USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2016,12,30]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","unstructured":"Florida Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services (2013).
