Strengthening Community Health Worker and Promotora Workforce Capacity.
Article in JAMA network open, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Importance: Community health workers and promotores (CHW/Ps) are a crucial workforce supporting health promotion, resource navigation, and dissemination of evidence-based health information across diverse communities. Objective: To describe the process and best practices for codesigning and coimplementing innovative, scalable, and culturally relevant capacity-building trainings for CHW/Ps. Design, Setting, and Participants: This mixed-methods study employed a quantitative and qualitative approach and an implementation process involving a collaborative approach that integrated feedback from CHW/Ps, community partners, and advisory board members to select relevant workshop topics. Trainings were attended by CHW/Ps from 243 zip codes across California between September 2023 and March 2024. Exposure: CHW/P participation in culturally and linguistically relevant training workshops delivered monthly over videoconference. Workshops fostered engagement through interactive formats, multilingual resources, and accessible online platforms. Main Outcomes and Measures: Using data from a California-wide partnership, mixed methods (preworkshop and postworkshop sureys analyzed with paired sample t tests, qualitative data analyzed with thematic analysis, ripple effects mapping sessions, and listening sessions with attendees) were used to assess the feasibility, acceptability, and effectiveness of the CHW/P trainings. Results: A total of 505 CHW/Ps (469 female [93%]; mean [SD] age, 47.1 [10.5] years; 430 Hispanic or Latino [85%] 413 Spanish-speaking [82%]) participated. Preworkshop and postworkshop surveys (244 attendees) indicated significant improvements in self-reported knowledge, skills, and confidence (t test values ranging from -8.01 to -3.99). Additionally, qualitative data highlighted the workshops' cultural relevance and the desire for more resources and extended engagement opportunities. Conclusions and Relevance: The findings of this study indicate that this CHW/Ps workforce training model and infrastructure can support the dissemination of trusted public health information during public health emergencies and beyond. Using this model, teams can adapt the content to their specific needs, and the resulting network of trained CHW/Ps can be mobilized to rapidly disseminate evidence-based information across medically underserved and other communities of interest.
