This article, published in July of this year in the Journal of the American Geriatric Society, explores CHW education and identifies areas where additional training may be necessary.
The article notes that “no research exists on training that CHWs receive on age-friendly health care.” It explores CHW education “on the 4Ms of an Age-Friendly Health System” and identifies areas where additional training may be necessary.” The “4Ms” as defined in the article are: Mobility (helping older adults move safely), Mentation (identifying dementia, delirium, and depression), Medications (using age-friendly medications when possible), and What Matters (aligning care with older adults’ health goals).
The article is open access. You can read the entire article here.
