    Challenges experienced by community health workers and their motivation to attend a self-management programme
    (AOSIS, 2022) Johnson, Levona J.; Schopp, Laura H.; Waggie, Firdouza
    Community health workers (CHWs) are change agents expected to assist in decreasing the global burden of disease in the communities they serve. However, they themselves have health risk behaviours, which predispose them to non-communicable diseases and thus need to be empowered to make better health choices. There is a gap in literature detailing the challenges faced by CHWs in addressing their own health risk behaviours.: This study aimed to explore the challenges experienced by CHWs in carrying out their daily duties and the motivating factors to join a self-management programme.
