This study looked at three programs in New York City where community health workers (CHWs) helped Asian American communities prevent and manage infection-related cancers. The programs focused on H. pylori treatment, HPV screening, and hepatitis B screening and care. Interviews with key stakeholders showed that success depended on keeping strong community partnerships, focusing on the needs of both clients and CHWs, being flexible to fit different settings, and ensuring programs worked well within existing health systems. The findings can guide future CHW-led cancer programs in underserved communities.
