This study examines the policy barriers that affect CHW programs in the United States. Key findings indicate that funding, accessibility of evidence-based practices, and certification processes were significant policy barriers to CHW program development. The authors call for the greater integration of the CHW workforce into the policy frameworks of the United States.
