This scoping review investigates the role of Community Health Workers (CHWs) in addressing the health needs of Latino males in the United States. Twenty articles were reviewed, highlighting interventions focused on occupational health, social support, and disease management. Most interventions utilized existing social networks and community-based participatory research (CBPR) principles. Findings suggest that recruiting CHWs from within existing social networks and using CBPR are important factors for successful health promotion among male Latinos.
