Community health workers (CHWs), or promotores de salud, form the spider’s web of attachments between community members, families, community-based organizations, academic centers, health care systems, and public health institutions. CHWs are often from the communities they serve and improve health by providing culturally appropriate health information, facilitating system navigation, and building trust with individuals and communities, among other roles. 1 The greater emphasis on awareness, navigation, and dissemination of culturally sensitive resources results in improved institutional trust, decreased barriers to care, and increased health care utilization. 2 The roles CHWs play are especially important when working with marginalized and minoritized populations, such as the Latino/Hispanic populations (hereafter “Latinx”). Because of their ability to increase trust and engagement, CHWs have been increasingly involved in community-based participatory research in various roles, including research question development; intervention design and implementation; and data collection, analysis, and dissemination. 3 Despite this increased involvement in research coupled with lived experiences, CHWs typically lack formal research training in needs assessment, qualitative and quantitative evaluation of programmatic or public data, and policy analysis. Developing and providing research training to CHWs can strengthen bidirectional information sharing and community-based problem-solving while increasing CHW capacity to inform policy changes and increase community member trust in research participation. We propose key policy steps to advance the inclusion of CHWs in research programs through increased research capacity building.
