Note: You will continue to use  this same community as you complete future assignments in this course.  It is highly recommended you read your syllabus and the assignment  instructions for the remaining units before deciding on which community  to choose. 

After your interview with the  community health worker, you will write a paper detailing your findings.  Your interview and subsequent research should yield answers to the  following questions:

• In your introduction, identify the history of the CHW and his  or her current role and involvement in the community. What role does the  CHW now play in the community? What benefit does he or she afford the  community? 
• What are some issues that CHWs deal with in the community? Are  they specific to that community? If so, why? Are there any barriers CHWs  deal with in addressing these issues? How can CHWs work to overcome  these barriers? 
• What type of health care and/or community health frameworks do  CHWs use most in their position? Are any not currently being used that  you or your interviewee feel would be useful?
• Identify what you found most interesting or useful about your interview with the CHW.
