Community health workers in clinical research
RECRUITMENT
In research, CHWs can be deployed to improve post-hospital outcomes or adherence to routine medical interventions An equally important basis for the successful conduct of clinical research projects is a trusting relationship between CHWs and communities. As CHWs often live in the communities they serve, CHW-centered recruitment may be facilitated by their inside knowledge of comorbidities, pregnancies, and other important medical histories of the individuals they are responsible for.
