Community health workers are essential members of the healthcare workforce, but standardized measures to evaluate their effectiveness are lacking. Researchers detailed the United States CHW Common Indicators (CI) Project, which aims to develop standardized evaluation measures to further support and elevate the work of CHWs. Although the CI Project succeeded in developing 10 priority constructs for CHW evaluations, the authors of this paper acknowledge that more evidence-based outcome data is necessary to push policies that will further support CHWs.
