Summary

This report will inform state policy makers, CHWs, educators, health professionals, and other stakeholders involved in promoting the CHW profession in Florida about the need for developing standardized training for CHWs. The project also looked at the likely effect that standardized training could have on the credibility, sustainability and job prospects of the CHWs. Finally, a sample training curriculum was developed for the Florida CHW Coalition.
