2014 National Community Health Worker Advocacy Survey Reports |
The 2014 National Community Health Worker Advocacy Survey (NCHWAS) is the largest on-line survey of Community Health Workers (CHW) conducted to date. NCHWAS represents the voices of approximately 1,767 CHWs from 45 United States and 4 US territories. Data gathered through NCHWAS is intended to be ‘open source’ and used for CHW workforce development and sustainability. The NCHWAS aims to describe (1) the state of CHWs as a professional field and (2) the impact of CHW community advocacy on community engagement to address health disparities. Although Community Health Workers or CHWs go by a variety of titles including, Promotora de Salud, Community Health Representatives, Community Health Aides, Peer Educators, and Patient Navigators to name just a few, we use the term Community Health Worker or CHWs as the umbrella term to describe the workforce. |

2017 State of Tobacco Control Report |
The 15th annual American Lung Association "State of Tobacco Control" report evaluates states and the federal government on the proven-effective tobacco control laws and policies necessary to save lives. This includes tobacco prevention and cessation funding, programs and insurance coverage; smokefree workplace laws; increased tobacco taxes; aggressive implementation of the U.S. Food and Drug Administration's (FDA) Family Smoking Prevention and Tobacco Control Act; and new for our 2017 report: raising the minimum age of sale for tobacco products to 21. The report assigns grades based on laws and regulations designed to prevent and reduce tobacco use in effect as of January 2017. The federal government, all 50 state governments and the District of Columbia are graded to determine if their laws and policies are adequately protecting citizens from the enormous toll tobacco use takes on lives, health and the economy. |

Addressing Barriers to Care: Process and Summative Evaluation of the Competency-Based Oncology Patient Navigator Training |
Presented at the 2017 CDC Cancer Conference on August 14, 2017. The purpose of the study was to evaluate the effectiveness of the no-cost, self-paced, online Oncology Patient Navigator Training: The Fundamentals, designed to train patient navigators on addressing barriers to care. The George Washington University Cancer Center analyzed pre- and post- assessment data from 384 learners who completed the training from 2015 to 2016. Most questions were asked on a 5-point Likert scale (Strongly Disagree to Strongly Agree). STATA®/IC 14.2 was used to assess changes in confidence across learning objectives (paired t-test) and compare differences in means between patient navigators and licensed health professionals (independent samples t-test). |
