Public Understanding of and Engagement With Community Health Workers and <i>Promotores de Salud</i>: Findings From Two National Surveys
A large proportion of people who are Hispanic or Latino are familiar with or have had interactions with CHWs. The low levels of familiarity with CHWs among FallStyles respondents highlight opportunities for greater public awareness and understanding of the multifaceted role and scope of the CHW workforce across public health, health care, and community settings to enhance the health and wellness of all people.
