Seeing Clearly: Applying an Equity Lens in Mentoring EvaluationJSI
This poster will be presented by Terry Greene at the American Evaluation Association Conference on October 31, 2018.
The Asthma Prevention and Control Program of the Massachusetts Department of Public Health sought to offer a CHW mentorship program. Mentorship enhances existing offerings of CHW and CHW supervisor trainings, support for CHW-led asthma home-visiting pilot projects, as well as technical assistance and an Asthma Learning Collaborative for clinical/community collaborations.
