Abstract:
BackgroundCommunity health workers (CHW) can perform unique functions to facilitate the implementation of evidence-based interventions for infection-related cancer prevention and control, and alleviate minoritized and immigration-related disparities.PurposeWe describe the implementation evaluation of three CHW-delivered infection-related cancer programs focused on Asian American (AA) communities in New York City: 1) a H. pylori treatment adherence program for Chinese and Korean Americans; 2) a HPV screening program for Muslim Americans; and 3) a hepatitis B screening, linkage to care, and treatment program for AA and other priority communities.MethodsWe conducted semi-structured key informant interviews with multi-level stakeholders from the programs.ResultsLessons learned include the importance of: 1) sustaining engagement and buy-in from implementation partners; 2) prioritizing recipient- and deliverer-centeredness; 3) fostering program flexibility to accommodate multiple implementation settings and to meet dynamic community resources and priorities; and 4) understanding interoperability between the CHW-delivered intervention and the inner setting for effective program implementation.ConclusionsThese findings can inform other efforts to implement CHW-delivered community-clinical cancer programs for AA and other underserved communities to advance health equity.
