Dear John,
Today, we are focusing on an article by Chidinma Ibe about community
health workers.
After reading today's featured article, take a look at an interactive
gallery that expands on the story of community health workers.
The gallery, entitled "Baltimore Voices
,"
dives into the experiences of CHWs as they attempt to deliver effective
health equity interventions at the neighborhood level.

Community Health Workers
In the October issue of Health Affairs, Chidinma Ibe and colleagues
document the experiences of community health workers
(CHWs).
As they note, CHWs are front-line public health workers who share lived
experiences with the communities they serve.
Their membership in these communities grants them unique insight into
the social risk factors and social needs of these communities.
Through a series of photovoice discussions with CHWs, Ibe and coauthors
identify structural racism as a key contributor to community health
workers' experiences with social risk factors and the occupational
hazards associated with their jobs.
They recommend that the health care community work to provide community
health workers with increased support and protection as they serve
marginalized communities.
For more, visit HealthAffairs.org to
listen to an episode
of the A Health Podyssey podcast featuring lead author Chidinma Ibe and
Health Affairs Editor-in-Chief Alan Weil.
