Carrying the Weight of a Broken System: Community Health Worker and Peer Recovery Specialist roles transformed.
Article in Progress in community health partnerships : research, education, and action, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 papers.
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
the problemRecognizing the scale of challenges faced by the behavioral health care industry, there is a growing call to expand the utilization of community-based health workers (CBHWs). However, neglecting to fully understand the complex realities of working in these roles risks undermining the true costs and sacrifices made by CBHWs as we strive to reshape health care policies and systems. PURPOSE OF ARTICLE: Drawing on 21 interviews we conducted with CBHWs in Rhode Island, we describe the evolving role of CBHWs within traditional health care settings and identify policy and practice implications. KEY POINTS: CBHWs have been taking on the burden of a broken health care system while experiencing role transformation.
conclusionsCBHW roles were designed in terms of a desired vision of the health care system-rather than the fragmented, overburdened institutional landscape that presently exists. Efforts to support CBHWs, without addressing the scale of role transformation, will continue to push much of the day-to-day labor underground.
