Abstract
It has been well established that adequate and appropriate training is necessary for community health workers (CHWs) to effectively address the health care needs of their communities. We used qualitative analysis to evaluate a health-training curriculum in rural Guatemala in order to gain further insights into best practices regarding CHW trainings. Our results indicate that curricula aimed at CHWs should not only be participatory, but also varied and include in-class simulations as well as in-field observational teaching.
