The COVID-19 member Workforce Development workgroup is pleased to share a new report for the field, Recommendations on the Role and Future Directions of Community Health Workers in the Public Health Workforce. The workgroup interviewed community health workers (CHWs), their employers, and staff from associations that serve CHWs to develop a series of recommendations for research, policy, and practice. The report is intended to be used in advocacy efforts by and for CHWs and their supporting organizations to articulate the value of and make a case for investment in CHWs as public health leaders, community liaisons, health equity champions, and essential members of the public health workforce.
