Community Health Worker Roles and Responsibilities in Rural and Urban America

Through focus groups held with CHWs in rural and urban regions of four states, we explore CHW roles and responsi- bilities, the growing professionalization of the field, and evolving interactions between CHWs and other care providers. Critically, we also provide an in-depth look at how CHW work varies between rural and urban environments and provide insight to support the continued growth of the field across rural and urban areas of the United States.
