Community Health Workers

What are Community Health Workers?

Community Health Workers (CHWs) are trusted members of the community who help bridge the gap between healthcare systems and the populations they serve. Our CHW initiative strengthens community-engaged research by training leaders in strengths-based engagement strategies and fostering meaningful partnerships.

CHWs play a vital role in:

• Building trust and collaboration with communities

• Supporting precision recruitment planning

• Enhancing retention and dissemination efforts

Through these efforts, CHWs ensure research is inclusive, impactful, and responsive to community needs.
