Evaluating the impact of a community health worker training program.
Article in Journal of health, population, and nutrition, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
backgroundThe Atlanta Region Community Health Workforce Advancement (ARCHWAy) program is designed to train and empower Community Health Workers (CHWs) by centering marginalized voices and integrating theoretical knowledge with hands-on experience. Through a combination of online and in person didactic training, and experiential learning, the program prepares CHWs to address social determinants of health (SDOH) and advocate for health equity.
methodsThis program evaluation examined the program's impact on participants' knowledge skills, and competencies. Feedback from course evaluations and encounter logs highlighted the program's effectiveness in equipping CHWs with practical tools to support individuals facing mental health crises, chronic disease management challenges, and barriers to healthcare access.
resultsParticipants rated the in-person and online didactic curriculum 4.5 or higher on a scale of 1-5. Experiential learning had a positive impact on their abilities to provide services such as individual and community assessment and education, and care coordination and to address the SDOH. Participants reported that they learned how to navigate systems, build trust, and empower individuals to advocate for their own health and well-being. DISCUSSION: Findings suggested that ARCHWAy successfully fostered critical skills and strengthened the CHW workforce, reinforcing the importance of experiential learning and community-centered training. Participants expressed a strong sense of preparedness and commitment to their roles, emphasizing the need for sustained investment in CHW development, including long-term support and recognition. While challenges remain in securing sustainable funding and measuring long-term community health outcomes, the evaluation demonstrated the impact of one CHW training program.
