Data for Action: NACHW National CHW Survey to Advance CHW Professional Identity, Leadership and Capacity (4-Part Series)
As part of the Johnson & Johnson Our Race to Health Equity initiative to eradicate racial and social injustice, this engaging 4-part series centered upon findings from the National survey launched in 2021 with a snapshot of 867 CHWs represented across each CHW title, region, sector, race/ethnicity identities, and values. The series strengthened our call to action to unify, gain and build recognition for the CHW professional identity! You can watch the recordings of the series by clicking the links below!
