Community Health Workers. From the United States to Uganda, poor areas around the globe experience shortages in qualified and willing healthcare professionals (Xxxxxxx et al., 2015). According to a study by Breiman et al. (2011), in Nairobi’s Kibera slum the most frequently reported reason for not seeking healthcare was expense. For those who did seek care, over a third visited non-licensed providers the first or only time they sought services. By delaying care or seeking illegitimate care, people risked further complications from incorrect or untimely diagnosis and treatment (Breiman et al., 2011). To fill gaps in healthcare, community health workers (CHWs) have been utilized in communities worldwide to address primary healthcare needs. CHWs can perform broad tasks or be assigned to more specific functions, such as blood pressure screening (WHO, 2007). As members of their community themselves, CHWs often share beliefs and health- seeking behaviors with their fellow community members (Xxxxxxx et al., 2015). They understand and share community norms, which allows them to connect with community members and deliver culturally-sensitive health messages, thus allowing community members to make informed decisions about their health (Xxxxxxx et al., 2015; Vareilles, et al., 2015).
