Preparing for Community Health Worker Integration Into Clinical Care Teams Through an Understanding of Patient and Community Health Worker Readiness and Intent
Open accessAbstract
There is a rising demand to expand the successful roles community health workers (CHWs) offer into clinical settings (clinic-based community health worker [cCHW]) to support patient services. Using survey data, we evaluated patient and CHW readiness and intent to adopt cCHW clinical care integration. We found CHW and patient readiness to become or utilize a cCHW significantly predicted CHW and patient intent to become or utilize a cCHW; however, in our study, CHWs experienced greater readiness to serve as cCHWs than did patients to utilize cCHWs.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
