Community Health Workers (CHW) are used throughout the world to promote good health, provide health education, assist in the prevention of disease, and provide basic health and medical care in their communities. CHWs serve the role of front line public health workers in the U.S.-Mexico border region. In the border region, these workers are commonly known as
promotoras/promotores de salud (health promoters/promoters) in communities. The purpose of this assessment study was to identify the training needs of CHWs to help design effective training programs in the U.S.-Mexico border region.
