摘要

社区卫生工作者是一线卫生工作者，他们将服务不足的人群与医疗保健系统联系起来，提供健康教育，并为他们的客户辩护。CHW可以特别帮助他们的客户解决影响许多慢性疾病的健康社会决定因素，如哮喘、高血压、心理健康不佳以及肾脏和心脏病。然而，在一个社会决定因素——工作世界——CHW通常不会扮演促进者和倡导者的角色。低收入和其他弱势工人的健康和福祉面临许多危险，知识渊博的CHW可以在帮助他们应对这些挑战方面发挥重要作用。

Community Health Workers Should be Worker Advocates

Community health workers (CHWs) are frontline health workers who connect underserved populations to the health care system, provide health education, and advocate for their clients. CHWs can be particularly helpful to their clients in addressing social determinants of health that affect many chronic illnesses such as asthma, high blood pressure, poor mental health, and kidney and heart diseases. However, in one social determinant—the world of work—CHWs do not often play a role as facilitators and advocates. Low-income and other disadvantaged workers experience many hazards to their health and well-being, and knowledgeable CHWs could play a significant role in assisting them to confront such challenges.

期刊介绍： New Solutions delivers authoritative responses to perplexing problems, with a worker’s voice, an activist’s commitment, a scientist’s approach, and a policy-maker’s experience. New Solutions explores the growing, changing common ground at the intersection of health, work, and the environment. The Journal makes plain how the issues in each area are interrelated and sets forth progressive, thoughtfully crafted public policy choices. It seeks a conversation on the issues between the grassroots labor and environmental activists and the professionals and researchers involved in charting society’s way forward with the understanding that lack of scientific knowledge is no excuse for doing nothing and that inaction is itself a choice.
