Abstract

As the population shifts in rural America, new methods of HIV/STD interventions are needed. The rural Latino youth population has higher teen birthrates and higher susceptibility to HIV/AIDS. Midwestern states; Iowa in particular, have seen an increase in Hispanic students. The program Cuidate! utilizes five Latino cultural values to decrease risky sexual behaviors. This program has been identified as a best evidence practice by the CDC. This paper discusses the implementation process in rural Iowa. Key words: Latino, Cuidate!, HIV/AIDS, Rural.
