[Guest guest]

FYI....

Attached is a flyer that describes the Manual de Consulta para los Trabajadores de salud Comunitaria: Una herramienta para la prevención de cardiopatías y derrames cerebrales (The Community Health Worker's Heart Disease and Stroke Prevention Sourcebook), that has been issued by CDC's Division for Heart Disease and Stroke Prevention, National Center for Chronic Disease Prevention and Health Promotion.

The folllowing background info is from the flyer:

In the United States, Community Health Workers (CHWs) help us meet our national Healthy People goals by conducting community-level activities and interventions that promote health and prevent diseases and disability, especially among disparate populations.

The CHWs Sourcebook serves two purposes: 1) as an instruction manual for training CHWs and 2) as a reference and a resource for CHWs working with community members. The sourcebook may be used as an instruction manual by college instructors, health educators, nurses, and other health care professionals at health departments, community clinics, community colleges, and other organizations and agencies.

To obtain a paper copy of the Spanish-language sourcebook, contact Dr. Nell Brownstein, jnb1@....
