The person's health status fluctuates continually, varying from being in good health to becoming ill and returning to being healthy. To understand the concept of illness prevention, there are two models. First, the health-illness continuum model is a graphic representation of an individual's wellness. It states that a person is considered healthy in the absence of physical disease and the presence of good emotional health.
The agent-host-environment model states that disease results...

A model is a theoretical way to understand a concept or an idea. Models can overcome barriers to health regardless of diverse economic and cultural backgrounds. In addition, models make the task easier by providing different ways to approach complex issues. There are two major health promotion models: the health belief model and the health promotion model.

Health promotion allows a person to control the determinants of health, resulting in an improved health status. It enhances the quality of life and reduces premature deaths. Health promotion and illness prevention programs help people make beneficial choices to reduce the risk of disease and disabilities. There are three health promotion and illness prevention levels: primary, secondary, and tertiary prevention.
In primary prevention, actions taken before disease onset prevent the disease from...

Area of Science:

  • Public Health
  • Health Workforce Development
  • Community Engagement

Background:

  • Community health workers and promotores (CHW/Ps) are vital for health promotion and information dissemination.
  • There is a need for scalable, culturally relevant training programs for this workforce.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To describe the co-design and co-implementation of innovative capacity-building trainings for CHW/Ps.
  • To evaluate the feasibility, acceptability, and effectiveness of these trainings.

Main Methods:

  • A mixed-methods approach was used, integrating quantitative and qualitative data.
  • Collaborative design involved CHW/Ps, community partners, and advisory boards.
  • Trainings were delivered via videoconference with interactive, multilingual components.

Main Results:

  • 505 CHW/Ps participated in trainings across California.
  • Pre- and post-surveys showed significant improvements in self-reported knowledge, skills, and confidence.
  • Qualitative feedback emphasized cultural relevance and a desire for more resources.

Conclusions:

  • The developed training model and infrastructure effectively support CHW/P capacity-building.
  • This model can be adapted to disseminate public health information rapidly, especially during emergencies.
  • Trained CHW/Ps can be mobilized to reach medically underserved communities.
