An article from Public Health Nursing. Reviews the databased literature on CHW effectiveness (increasing access to care, especially in underserved populations). Finds that the CHW role can be doomed by overly high expectations, lack of a clear focus, and lack of documentation. Recommends further research into CHW activities and target populations.
