Integrating Community Health Workers Into Clinical Settings
More than half of the authors are Community Health Workers (CHWs) and CHW supervisors. These CHWs and CHW supervisors were involved in the study design, including data collection, data analysis, data interpretation, and manuscript authorship. This approach ensures the voices of CHWs and their supervisors are integrated into every aspect of the article and allows for detailed insight from CHWs in their own words, which is essential for understanding the complex real-world dynamics influencing the integration of CHWs. This approach also allows for practical recommendations for improving the integration of CHWs.
