Latinx lay health promoters are primarily women (Promotoras de Salud) who play an important role in their communities by promoting individual and population health. Over two decades of research have established evidence that health interventions involving community health workers (CHWs) and promotoras offer many benefits, including: improved clinical and behavioral health outcomes; increased utilization of health services by non-majority groups; reduced medical costs; greater social connectedness; and increased social capital within Latinx communities. Less discussed in the literature is the perceived impact of lay health promotion on the individual and how it relates to Freire\u2019s construct of \u201cconscientiziation\u201d (critical consciousness). What happens over time to women who are involved in their communities as promotores, or \u201clay health workers\u201d? Do they become more civically engaged? Do they pursue formal education? What barriers do they face in practice, and how can organizations and health systems in WA best support their involvement in primary care? 足彩app哪个是正规的se are the primary questions that Associate Professor, Jody Early, along with collaborators, Sandra Solano-Huber (Community Outreach Manager at Verdant Health) Dr. Victoria Breckwich Vasquez (VP Prevention and Health Services at Sea Mar Community Health Centers) and Assistant Professor, Dr. Carmen Gonzalez (Dept of Communication, UW Seattle) set out to explore in their qualitative study. Over the course of 18 months, the team interviewed 28 promotores around the state.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
