Les six piliers de la communauté de la main-d’œuvre dans le secteur de la santé
Evidence Based:
“Over 60 years of evidence exists of the effectiveness of CHWs, as confirmed in a number of randomized control trials, systematic reviews, and ROI studies of CHW interventions. They have proven themselves in a variety of fields, including maternal and child health, behavioral health and recovery, chronic disease and community violence interventions, immunization, oral health, and other areas. CHWs are also increasingly recognized for our contributions to addressing racial equity and the social determinants of health — by connecting individuals to basic needs and by organizing communities to address inequitable social conditions.”
