With funding from the National Institutes of Health's Community Engagement Alliance, starting in fall 2020, 11 academic medical centers and 75 community partners came together as the California Alliance Against COVID-19 to address COVID-19 inequities in California. Using data from focus groups, statewide meetings, and a statewide partner survey, we describe how and community health workers (P/CHWs; n = 540) helped to promote access to COVID-19 information, testing, and vaccination. We highlight opportunities to promote health equity among other public health collaborators with a P/CHW model. (. 2024;114(S1):S45-S49. https://doi.org/10.2105/AJPH.2023.307471).
在国家卫生研究院社区参与联盟的资助下，从 2020 年秋季开始，11 所学术医疗中心和 75 个社区合作伙伴齐聚一堂，组成了加利福尼亚州对抗 COVID-19 联盟，以解决加利福尼亚州的 COVID-19 不平等问题。我们使用焦点小组、全州会议和全州合作伙伴调查的数据，描述了初级卫生保健工作者（P/CHW；n=540）如何帮助促进 COVID-19 信息、检测和疫苗接种的获取。我们强调了在其他公共卫生合作者中推广 P/CHW 模式以促进健康公平的机会。（2024 年；114（S1）：S45-S49。https://doi.org/10.2105/AJPH.2023.307471）。
