When factoring in costs of visits, did you do a time study on CHWs based on their hourly rate or was that a cost of supplies only?

What are ways that we can find contractors for weatherization to partner with? 

What are your procedures for CHW follow-up visits?  What topics do they cover at each visit?  Is the approach standardized, or more tailored to each client's situation?

There is a lot of talk about recieving reimbursement for CHW's, I am wondering what processes are necessary to be eligble for CHW reimbursements and what agency(s) manage the reimbursements?

How does one become a community health worker? Is there licensing/ certification requirements?

Hello,

I am an intern with the Tacoma-Pierce County Health Department and I am doing research on best practices for educating adults with asthma. We curently have programs for children/teens but are wondering how to effectively educate adults living with asthma.

I am hoping for educated opinions/hypothesis, current research articles related to my research, and/or any programs currently being implemented that I could use as a guide.

All comments are greatly appreciated! Also, feel free to send me an email!

Thanks,

I am a medical education researcher and am fielding a survey to patients or caregivers of individuals suffering from moderate-to-severe asthma to understand their specific challenges. The purpose of the research is to develop a report/publication to inform supporters of patient education of the real-world needs within the community. I am offering a $10 Walmart or Amazon gift card for complete responses to the final survey (should take no more than 10-15 minutes). Your responses will be considered confidential and not linked back to you in any way.
