The long-term goal of Salud Para Usted y Su Familia [Health for You and Your Family] (SPUSF) is to reduce the incidence of overweight and obesity among Mexican-heritage children from limited-resource colonias/neighborhoods along the Arizona, New Mexico, and Texas borders.  The goal will be accomplished through a Promotora-led, family-based obesity prevention program that integrates research, education, and extension to target food and beverage consumption, physical activity, and screen-time by changing individual and family behaviors and the home environment in a coordinated manner.

The SPUSF team is a collaboration of two land grant institutions (Texas A&M and New Mexico State [Hispanic-Serving]), Mariposa Community Health Center (a Federally qualified health center in Arizona), and Baylor University.

The project is for five years from the U.S. Department of Agriculture-National Institute of Food and Agriculture.
