Abstract:

The evaluation forms are designed to gauge the effectiveness of the community health workers (CHWs) according to themselves. Community health workers completed and submitted forms quarterly to the University of South Alabama’s Coastal Resource and Resiliency Center (CRRC) beginning March through October 2017. CRRC gathered, input, analyzed, and reported data provided by the CHWs to evaluate the utility of these CHWs in building community resilience.
