BEHAVIORAL

CHW Training

CHWs will be trained in DM concepts, motivational interviewing, brief action planning, and stages of behavior change. CHWs will participate in a 105- hour core competency training. CHWs will conduct mock telephone counseling calls with trained standardized patients to enhance skills, gain feedback and develop confidence in these techniques. In addition to these training experiences, CHWs will have letter templates, motivational interviewing scripts, and protocols available for patient outreach to standardize and guide patient outreach . The completion of the CHW training will be followed by a final examination of knowledge and evaluation of trial encounters with "mock" participants (consisting of research staff and advisory board members). Individuals who do not pass will receive intensive remediation and be required to repeat the examination. Community Health Worker Coaching Intervention.
