This is the nation’s largest searchable collection of documents on policies around CHWs (mainly on the state level). Documents include: reports, policy studies, meeting minutes, brochures, state legislative bills and other materials that show how state-level groups have created definitions, policies and workforce development programs for CHWs. Some documents show the results of these efforts. Most documents focus on one state. There are a number of multi-state and national resources.
The main use of this resource center is to find information on the process other states have gone through in advancing policies around CHWs. This can help you understand policy options available to your state, or to learn about experiences in other states who have pursued policies or investments similar to ones you are considering for your state. Please feel free to submit documents from your own state that we don’t have – just click the button below.
Documents found in this resource center are most useful for: state government officials; CHW leaders; current and potential employers and payers for CHWs; other individuals and stakeholder organizations involved in advancing and/or considering policies on CHWs. This resource center is not a resource for individual CHWs looking for tools to inform or improve their practice; NACHW Members can find those kinds of materials and links here.
