Connecticut Implements a Team-Based Approach to Cardiovascular Disease Prevention Using Community Health Workers and Mobile Medical Devices

by

Authors: Amy Griffin, Chioma Ogazi, Chelsea Vozzolo, Karin Davis, Robin Baker

The Connecticut Department of Public Health’s Early Detection and Prevention Program offers breast and cervical cancer screenings, cardiovascular risk assessments, health coaching, and addresses social determinants of health for economically disadvantaged and minority women. Community health workers (CHWs) use mobile devices for screenings and risk reduction counseling in community settings, overcoming barriers to access. This approach ensures screenings and counseling are convenient and accessible, with rapid results and personalized health plans.
