The Comenzando Bien Prenatal Program aspires to validate the participants knowledge, tradition, culture, and beliefs and integrate them with medically sound prenatal practices. The program is based on the following premises: that self assessment, interaction and support among participates are important factors for behavioral change. The program integrates linguistic and cultural factors into a training curriculum that promotes mutual interactions between facilitators and participants; and is both knowledge-based and behavior oriented.
