Webinar- Enhancing Community Health Research By Engaging Community Health Workers as Research Partners

Abstract: Health systems research  informs community engagement, public health practice, and patient centered primary health care interventions; yet more often than not, it is designed, managed and published without the participation of the people it is intended to serve. There is increasing attention to the role community health workers (CHWs) can play in community health research and in improving its quality and uptake. This webinar will present experiences and research findings on the role of CHWs as research partners. Sharing evidence from North American and African contexts, it outlines the ways CHWs have been involved in research. It will address the benefits of CHW participation in health systems research, but also discuss potential pitfalls. It will provide participants with case examples and recommendations for engaging CHWs as co-investigators and research partners.
