PROMOTION OF COMMON INDICATORS
WHAT WE DO
THE PROBLEM
Although substantial progress has been made, much remains to be done to encourage CHWs employers of all types from around the country to regularly collect the CHW Common Indicators. These indicators are based on how CHWs measure the success of their work, and the conditions they know they need to be effective. Collecting these indicators consistently will allow us to combine data from multiple CHW programs and make a stronger scientific case for the value of CHW work, and the conditions CHWs need to be successful.
HOW WE WORK
Continuing the work done under the auspices of the CHW Common Indicators Project, the Center continues to develop, pilot, and disseminate process and outcome indicators that contribute to the integrity, sustainability, and viability of CHW programs. In addition, it is building infrastructure to aggregate data collected using those indicators so that it can be made available to researchers to conduct descriptive and predictive studies.
