We describe the feasibility of a Web-based portal for training peer community health advisors (CHAs). We conducted a community-based implementation trial in African American churches between 2012 and 2014. The Web-based portal allows CHAs to log in and view 13 training videos, preparing them to deliver 3 cancer early detection workshops in their churches. Of 8 churches, 6 completed the training, each certifying 2 CHAs. These CHAs took an average of 26 days to complete the training, requiring little technical assistance. Additional technical assistance was required to implement the workshops. The Web-based system appears to be a feasible method for training lay individuals for the CHA role and has implications for increasing the reach of evidence-based interventions.
我们描述了一个基于网络的培训同伴社区健康顾问（CHA）的门户网站的可行性。2012年至2014年期间，我们在非裔美国人教堂进行了一项基于社区的实施试验。这个基于网络的门户网站允许CHA登录并观看13个培训视频，使他们有能力在自己的教堂举办3次癌症早期检测研讨会。在8所教堂中，6所完成了培训，每所教堂认证了2名CHA。这些CHA平均花费26天完成培训，几乎不需要技术援助。举办研讨会则需要额外的技术援助。基于网络的系统似乎是一种可行的方法，用于培训非专业人员担任CHA角色，并对扩大循证干预措施的覆盖范围具有重要意义。
