Inviting Participants to the Table
This report examines the application of the data placemat method for disseminating research results, drawing on insights from two case studies working with immigrant and refugee groups. Additionally, it provides practical recommendations for researchers considering adopting this approach. This method can help researchers organize data in a coherent and accessible manner, providing participants with a succinct summary of results. It provides a mea…
Expanding Diabetes Self-Management Education to Address Health-Related Social Needs
Diabetes self-management education (DSME) programs are evidence-based interventions that improve glycemic control and self-care behaviors, yet their effectiveness may be limited by unaddressed health-related social needs (HRSN) (e.g., food insecurity, housing or utility instability, transportation barriers). This qualitative multiple case study examined the feasibility of integrating HRSN assessments into DSME delivery within three community-base…
Self-Efficacy Is Associated with Health Behaviors Related To Obesity and Cardiovascular Risk Among Hispanic/Latinx and Somali Immigrants To the United States
Self-efficacy theory proposes that confidence to engage in a health behavior is associated with engaging in that specific behavior. Most research examining self-efficacy has been conducted with white young adult populations. This cross-sectional analysis examined the association of self-efficacy (i.e., confidence) for healthy eating and physical activity in two immigrant communities. At enrollment into the Healthy Immigrant Community study, a cli…
We worked together to change things about our lives”
Our study highlighted a shift in HPs' motivations to participate in Healthy Immigrant Community from weight loss to holistic health promotion. The HPs' reflections on their experience showcase the transformative impact of culturally tailored, equity-focused interventions while emphasizing the need to address systemic barriers and incorporate community feedback for sustainable change
Evaluation of a Photovoice Exhibit About Immigrant Health Priorities in Southeast Minnesota
Rochester Healthy Community Partnership, a 20-year community based participatory research partnership, used photovoice to learn about Hispanic/Latino and Somali immigrants’ health concerns. Participants photographed their health-related priorities, reflected, developed policy recommendations, and shared photographs at a public event and rotating exhibit in 2024. More than 100 people attended the event (19 decision makers, 64 members of the public…
The Association Between Perceived Discrimination, Age and Proportion of Lifetime in the United States Among Somali Immigrants
Negative mood is associated with sociobehavioral factors contributing to cardiovascular risk in an immigrant population
ClinicalTrials.gov registration: NCT05136339; April 23, 2022
The Association Between Duration of School Garden Exposure and Self-Reported Learning and School Connectedness
When students feel connected to their school, they experience positive health and academic outcomes. In contrast, school disengagement is a predictor of dropout, delinquency, and substance use. School garden programming has the potential to help children achieve academic outcomes and feel connected to their school. Unfortunately, most school garden research has been conducted with white, affluent study participants. We describe the results of a s…
Addressing Covid-19 inequities using bidirectional crisis and emergency risk communication and vaccine clinic interventions
We found that participants viewed the CERC intervention for vaccination equity as an acceptable way to disseminate COVID-19-related information. Nearly all participants reported that the intervention convinced them to receive a COVID-19 vaccine. In our experience, community-engaged and community-based clinics are a successful way to administer vaccines to im/migrant communities during a pandemic
Adaptation of a Community Clinical Linkages Intervention to the Covid-19 Pandemic
In this community case study, we describe the process within an academic-community partnership of adapting UNIDOS, a community health worker (CHW)-led community-clinical linkages (CCL) intervention targeting Latinx adults in Arizona, to the evolving landscape of the COVID-19 pandemic. Consistent with community-based participatory research principles, academic and community-based partners made decisions regarding changes to the intervention study …
Community Health Worker-Led Community Clinical on the U.S. / Mexico Border
Future CHW-led CCL practitioners should consider how to best institutionally support CHWs to maximize benefits for patients

Positionality of Community Health Workers on Health Intervention Research Teams
Community health workers (CHWs) are increasingly involved as members of health intervention research teams. Given that CHWs are engaged in a variety of research roles, there is a need for better understanding of the ways in which CHWs are incorporated in research and the potential benefits. This scoping review synthesizes evidence regarding the kinds of health research studies involving CHWs, CHWs' roles in implementing health intervention resear…
Evaluation of the Impact of School Garden Exposure on Youth Outlook and Behaviors toward Vegetables in Southern Arizona
BACKGROUND: Our objective was to evaluate the effect of garden-based learning on outlook and behaviors toward vegetables among primarily Latinx students. An educational strategy, garden-based learning is a teaching tool that complements other disciplines. METHODS: Third- and fourth-grade students at 4 elementary schools with different garden programs completed a bingo survey and participated in class discussions to measure outlook and behaviors t…
Examining Associations between Community Health Worker-Rated Health and Mental Health among Latino Adults with Chronic Disease
Latinos with chronic disease often experience comorbid depression, but confront barriers to mental health treatment. Community health workers (CHWs) develop trusting relationships with the communities they serve, and may be uniquely positioned to identify Latinos with mental health care needs. Research has not examined whether their rating of clients' health is indicative of their mental health. This mixed-methods study examines CHWs' appraisals …
Protocol for LINKS (linking individual needs to community and clinical services)
This study protocol was retrospectively registered, approved, and made available on Clinicaltrials.gov by NCT03787485 as of December 20, 2018
Community Health Worker Impact on Chronic Disease Outcomes Within Primary Care Examined Using Electronic Health Records
Objectives. To investigate community health worker (CHW) effects on chronic disease outcomes using electronic health records (EHRs). Methods. We examined EHRs of 32 147 patients at risk for chronic disease during 2012 to 2015. Variables included contact with clinic-based CHWs, vitals, and laboratory tests. We estimated a mixed model for all outcomes. Results. Within-group findings showed statistically significant improvements in chronic disease i…
