- Health Promotion
- Community Health
Background:
- Community health workers (CHWs) are trusted specialists with deep community understanding.
- CHWs offer a cost-effective and scalable approach to health promotion for men.
Purpose of the Study:
- To assess CHW-implemented health promotion efforts for men using the RE-AIM Framework.
- To provide recommendations for future male-focused health interventions delivered by CHWs.
Main Methods:
- Systematic review of interventions implemented by CHWs for men.
- Searched multiple databases (PubMed, EMBASE, etc.) with a librarian-generated strategy.
- 24 articles met inclusion criteria after screening 1,437 articles.
Main Results:
- Most interventions targeted men under 50 and underserved populations, showing improved health outcomes.
- Interventions were community-based, often atheoretical, with satisfactory retention.
- CHW roles varied, with attention to training but limited focus on supervision.
Conclusions:
