Integrating community health workers as co-researchers
Including community health workers—sometimes referred to as CHWs—in research is highly valuable and is of greatest importance when using community-based participatory research approaches.
They are trusted community members, and serve as vital links between health-related services and the community.
Unfortunately, too often a community health worker’s role in a study is confined to operational research tasks like education, outreach, recruitment, or data collection, including feedback on surveys. While community health workers play an important role in these endeavors, their potential extends beyond that.
