Evaluating a 30-Hour Training Program for Community Health Workers on 4Ms Implementation in FQHCs Using the Kirkpatrick Model.

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
objectiveTo evaluate a 30 h educational program delivered to community health care workers (CHWs) involved in geriatric care within a primary care clinic, measure increase in knowledge, likelihood of using the education, and baseline results of geriatric screenings for patients 65 and older conducted by CHWs in their clinics.
methodsDesign, Setting and Participants: This is an evaluation with a two-center, pre-post design study of a 30 h in-person educational program. The program used the Kirkpatrick model to evaluate the educational program. The study used quantitative and qualitative data collection with surveys measuring knowledge, feedback, content, and demographics of the participants and chart reviews to measure clinical implementation of 4Ms discussion. Qualitative data collection included a focus group and open-ended questions in the survey. Thematic analysis from focus groups explored the feedback from the educational program.
resultsTwelve community health care workers (average age 40, 90% female) from two federally qualified health centers (FQHC) participated in the 30 h training program. Perceived knowledge improved after the completion of the training. Final exam scores after the training were also significant, indicating an improvement in content retention. Overall, 98% of participants described the training as "Excellent" and 96% rated excellent for the speakers who provided the training. Additionally, 83% suggested they would apply the training in their practice. Approximately 40% of chart reviews indicated the completion of the 4Ms (What Matters, Mentation, Medication, and Mobility) discussion with patients. Thematic analysis yielded two new practice dimensions: care provision and clinical documentation. The training resulted in organizational adaptation with the development of an intake form in the Electronic Health Record (EHR) to document the 4Ms.
conclusionResults indicate improvement in all dimensions of the training with an emphasis on level 4, indicating wider organization adaptation of 4Ms discussion.
