Examining the Preliminary Effectiveness on Knowledge of a Tobacco Cessation Facilitator Training for Community Health Workers
The C.H.A.N.G.E. training effectively improved CHWs' tobacco cessation knowledge. However, knowledge changes had no differences based on client types of CHWs. This study highlighted the importance of continuous adaptation and evaluation of training programs to fit the needs of CHWs and their clients in underserved, community-based settings.
