Incorporating what promotoras learn: becoming role models to effect positive change.
Article in Journal of community health, 2012. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 8 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled it.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
Promotoras (community health workers) play an important health promotion role and must be continuously trained, but little is known about how much of their learning they actually put into practice. This non-randomized, longitudinal study examined knowledge and home environmental outcomes of an asthma and healthy homes training offered to promotoras using a train-the-trainer model. Eighty-five promotoras received the training and pre- and post-test surveys were used to measure training outcomes. Results showed a statistically significant increase in asthma and healthy home-related knowledge (P < .001). At 12-months post-intervention, a majority of the promotoras (69%) reported they made household changes to improve their indoor environment as a result of the training. This study suggests that effective trainings can improve promotoras knowledge and behaviors for the promotion of healthy homes in the community. Further evaluation is needed to investigate whether these trainings allow promotoras to serve as role models within their communities "by educating through example" and thereby enhance their credibility as health educators.
