Community Health Worker Impact Estimator Tool: Childhood Asthma
/For generations, community leaders have seen how valuable community health workers (CHWs), promotores, community health representatives, and the many other variations of community-based peer support workers can be. Nevertheless, decision makers often ask CHW advocates to make the business case for paying for CHW services and integrating them into care teams. To support these efforts, Families USA worked with Katharine London and her team at the Center for Health Law and Economics of the University of Massachusetts Medical School to develop a unique, interactive CHW Impact Estimator Tool.
