Community leaders collaborated with human-centered design practitioners and academic researchers to co-develop a community health worker (CHW) training program for delivering community-based hearing care to fellow older adults. When implemented by CHWs, clients' communication function improved comparably with outcomes following professional interventions. Community-based models offer opportunities to advance hearing health.
社区领导与以人为中心的设计从业者和学术研究人员合作,共同开发了一项针对社区卫生工作者(CHW)的培训计划,以便为其他老年人提供社区听力保健服务。当 CHW 实施时,与专业干预后的结果相比,客户的沟通功能得到了相当程度的改善。基于社区的模式为促进听力健康提供了机会。
