As the Technical Assistance and Evaluation Center (TAEC) for the initiative, Boston University (BU) will provide training and technical assistance to these provider sites, especially CHWs and supervisors, as they develop and implement the CHW model in their settings. BU will also evaluate the effectiveness of the CHW model in improving linkage and retention in care, collect data on select clinical outcomes, and assess the programs implemented by the provider sites.
