Formative research techniques were used to develop a tailored health communication nutrition intervention for Latinas and their families and identified variables that could be used for targeting, segmenting, and tailoring the intervention.
Abstract
Formative research techniques were used to develop a tailored health communication nutrition intervention for Latinas and their families. Members of the target community were recruited to participate in focus groups, depth interviews, and participant observations. Women, in particular, were observed preparing meals in their homes and purchasing groceries. The objective was to identify variables that could be used for targeting, segmenting, and tailoring the intervention. Results from these efforts were used to develop a theory-based intervention, which is described at the conclusion of the article.
