Community Health Worker Toolkit
CDC has compiled evidence-based research that supports the effectiveness of CHWs. The toolkit also includes information that state health departments can use to train and further build capacity for CHWs in their communities, as well as helpful resources that CHWs can use within their communities.

An evidence base has taken shape in support of many policy components that encompasses a CHW policy intervention. There is strong evidence demonstrating the value and impact of CHWs in preventing and managing a variety of chronic diseases. Below are a number of reports and policy briefs that outline the growing policy evidence, as well as a helpful fact sheet that summarizes the extent to which states have enacted laws addressing CHW infrastructure, professional identity, workforce development, and financing,

  • A recent Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) ruling (Jan. 2014, page 8) states that non-licensed health providers can be reimbursed for preventive services that are recommended by a licensed clinician. Decisions about implementing changes made possible by this ruling depend on state Medicaid offices through their state plan amendment process. This ruling is another indicator of how opportunities for transforming practices are increasingly facilitated by changes in payment rules and systems.
