Study Details

Brief summary:

Established in 2021, NYCEAL consists of approximately 40 organizational partners and 120 Community Health Workers (CHWs). Over the next four years (2024-2028), NYCEAL will work with this network to implement the following intervention: Building Community Resilience Program (BCR). To assess the impact of this intervention, an implementation research framework will be used, and pre- and post-surveys conducted, and other process evaluation measures collected. Changes in outcomes measures such as stress, resilience, overall wellbeing, and other related outcomes for participants in the BCR program will be measured for community healthcare workers and/or frontline workers that receive educational workshops.

Interventions and Outcome Measures

Arms

experimental: Immediate Intervention Group (First Cohort)

The first cohort of up to 36 participants will complete two surveys: a baseline survey within one month before the workshops begin, and a post-test survey within one month after the final workshop (approximately 8 months total from first to last survey)

experimental: Waitlist Group (Second Cohort)

The second cohort of up to 36 participants will complete four surveys: two surveys in year 1 (matching the timing of the first cohort's surveys to serve as a control group), and two additional surveys in year 2 when they receive the intervention (a baseline survey within one month before their workshops begin, and a post-test survey within one month after their final workshop).

Interventions

Building Community Resilience Program (BCR)

To improve CHW resilience and wellbeing, during each BCR cycle, the 6 participating CBOs will send groups of four to six CHWs to six virtual, hour-long, evidence-based interactive workshops (48-72 CHWs over the 2 cycles).

Primary outcome measure

  • Mini-Z Burnout Scale Score [ Time Frame: Baseline (within one month before workshops begin) and post-test (within one month after workshops end at 6 months) ]
