Evaluating a Community Health Worker Training Program for Medication Adherence Support.
Article in AJPM focus, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
Introduction: Medication nonadherence significantly contributes to poor health outcomes and increased healthcare costs, particularly in chronic diseases like hypertension. Community Health Workers (CHWs) are well-positioned to address adherence barriers but often lack specific training in medication management and particularly in improving medication adherence. The objective of this study is to evaluate a training program for CHWs focused on medication adherence support for patients with hypertension. Methods: The study team designed a comprehensive training program consisting of pre-recorded lectures and a 2-day live session. The live training content included didactic lectures integrated with hands-on practice cases and small group breakout sessions. The program was evaluated using pre and posttests assessing knowledge and self-efficacy. A quality improvement process was implemented post-training to support CHWs in their new roles. Results: A total of 109 CHWs participated in the training. Knowledge scores improved from 28% pretraining to 81% posttraining ( Conclusions: This structured training program effectively improved CHWs' knowledge and confidence in supporting medication adherence. This approach shows promise for enhancing CHWs' roles in collaborating with healthcare professionals for chronic disease management.
