    Motivation and Performance of Community Health Workers: Nothing New Under the Sun, and Yet…
    Eric Sarriot, Tom Davis, Melanie Morrow, Telesphore Kabore and Henry Perry
    Global Health: Science and Practice December 2021, 9(4):716-724; https://doi.org/10.9745/GHSP-D-21-00627

    We know that both financial and nonfinancial incentives matter if we want community health workers (CHWs) who are motivated and performing. What are the practical implications for CHWs themselves and for effective management of viable CHW programs?

    Beyond Institutionalization: Planning for Sustained Investments in Training, Supervision, and Support of Community Health Worker Programs in Bangladesh
    Shongkour Roy, Shivani Pandya, Md. Irfan Hossain, Timothy Abuya, Charlotte E. Warren, Paloma Mitra, Ubaidur Rob, Sharif Hossain and Smisha Agarwal
    Global Health: Science and Practice December 2021, 9(4):765-776; https://doi.org/10.9745/GHSP-D-21-00156

    Institutionalizing community health workers (CHWs) is insufficient for improving program quality. Governments must plan for sustained investments for salaries and benefits, as well as systems enabling adaptive management of the CHW cadres. Greater coordination is needed at the global level to pool and align donor investments to support the ecosystem underlying CHW programs.

    It’s Time to Move Beyond Traditional Health Care Worker Training Approaches
    Julia Bluestone, Jim Ricca, Denise Traicoff and Dieula Delissaint Tchoualeu
    Global Health: Science and Practice September 2021, 9(3):431-432; https://doi.org/10.9745/GHSP-D-21-00553

    Isn't it time that the global community move beyond traditional training and supportive supervision models to improve health care worker capacity?

    Applying Adult Learning Best Practices to Design Immunization Training for Health Care Workers in Ghana
    Denise Traicoff, Dieula Delissaint Tchoualeu, Joseph Opare, Melissa Wardle, Pamela Quaye, Hardeep S. Sandhu and George Bonsu
    Global Health: Science and Practice September 2021, 9(3):487-497; https://doi.org/10.9745/GHSP-D-21-00090

    Best practices of adult learning were used to develop a training of trainers program for the Ghana Health Service immunization workforce. The program supported translating learning to behavior change, used class time for practice-teaching and action plan development, linked formal instruction with specific activities, and offered follow-up mentorship.

    Evaluation of the Impact of Immunization Second Year of Life Training Interventions on Health Care Workers in Ghana
    Dieula Delissaint Tchoualeu, Bonnie Harvey, Mawuli Nyaku, Joseph Opare, Denise Traicoff, George Bonsu, Pamela Quaye and Hardeep S. Sandhu
    Global Health: Science and Practice September 2021, 9(3):498-507; https://doi.org/10.9745/GHSP-D-21-00091

    Applying performance-based training interventions that follow adult learning principles and include follow-up activities after training may help to solve specific performance problems and improve health care workers’ performance in immunization service delivery. These strategies facilitate learning, minimize the forgetting curve for health care workers, and should be considered as a standard practice for future training interventions.

    Regarding “A Cluster-Randomized Trial to Test Sharing Histories as a Training Method for Community Health Workers in Peru”
    Daniel C. Taylor
    Global Health: Science and Practice June 2021, 9(2):422-424; https://doi.org/10.9745/GHSP-D-21-00178

    Improving communication between mothers and health systems will grow cost-effective, potentially scalable health impact. By developing an approach of how health systems and mothers can communicate to increase mutual understanding, a "health language" that is grounded in mothers' reproductive life narratives can be developed to help bridge the long-standing gap in how health systems and mothers engage.

    Henry B. Perry and Stephen Hodgins
    Global Health: Science and Practice March 2021, 9(1):1-9; https://doi.org/10.9745/GHSP-D-20-00459

    National community health worker programs are at the dawn of a new era, given the growing recognition of their importance for achieving global health goals and for controlling the COVID-19 pandemic. Now is the time to provide them with the respect and funding that they need and deserve.
