Event Details

The Southeastern CHW Monthly CoLab!

The goal of CoLab is for Community Health Workers and CHW Allies from across the Southeast to offer support and learn together.

Every month, a CHW will present a case study, and an expert will offer training on a topic of great interest. By attending and completing an evaluation, participants will receive 1 hour of CHW CEU every month.

SCCHWA is partnering with SC AHEC, which is providing registration, platform, and evaluation assistance.

SE CHW CoLab will convene monthly on the 3rd Wednesday at noon EST.

February CHW CoLab | The Future of Healthcare: Integrating CHWs in Remote, At-Home Testing to Improve Disease Screening in Vulnerable Populations

This presentation will highlight the role of CHWs in bridging rural, at-risk communities and chronic disease awareness with accessible screening tools and motivational interviewing using telemedicine methods. The ITALIC Study primarily focuses on the use of a low-cost, accessible fasting glucose tool to screen for diabetes, and measuring the effect of CHW support over a telemedicine call on test completion, test results, patient trust and empowerment, and the rate of follow-up appointments scheduled if a positive test result is received. However, the implications of the study are widely applicable to the vital roles CHWs carry in making care more accessible for countless individuals who may experience barriers to obtaining proper healthcare and screenings.
