Empowering The Community: An Explanatory Mixed Methods Study Exploring The Social Mechanisms Of Community Health Worker-Primary Care Integration Using A Team Science Approach, Alexandria Blacker

Doctor of Philosophy in Translational Health Sciences Dissertations

Background: Expanding primary care (PC) has emerged as a national priority to transform health care delivery (Pittman et al., 2015). This requires that PC teams become highly functioning interprofessional teams. Community Health Workers (CHWs), frontline health care workers who are seen as trusted members of their community, act as links between the community and care teams, providing a crucial means to increase access to health services, reduce health care costs and address social determinants of health (SDH) (American Public Health Association, 2021). CHWs are increasingly becoming part of PC teams (Franklin et al., 2015; Herman, 2011). Despite decades of research …
