| Popis: | OBJECTIVE To compile lessons learned from the Uniontown Community Health Project. METHODS Lessons-learned information was gathered from project staff and community volunteers. RESULTS Analysis led to the identification of 6 lessons: (a) Establish personal working relationships in communities; (b) find a local community coordinator to lead efforts; (c) be patient in implementing a community health advisor (CHA) model; (d) be flexible and emphasize simplicity when implementing community activities; (e) recognize that meeting research goals requires compromise; and (f) plan transfer of project activities to the community from the beginning. CONCLUSION These lessons may benefit others implementing CHA programs. |
