  2. Specific Aims AIM 1: Create Storytelling DVDs in two Community Health Centers AIM 2: Enhance and Expand Community Health Worker (CHW) Curriculum and Training AIM 3: Recruit Participants and Conduct CHW-Storytelling Intervention

  3. Progress Toward Aim 1: Create Storytelling DVDs in English and Spanish • CHWs contact patients using a script developed by the team (either in person or on the phone) to identify patients who have made changes in hypertension control • Two group interviews of 8-10 potential stars at each site are scheduled in the next two weeks • 4-6 individual videotaped interviews with video potential stars will occur at each site

  4. Progress Toward Aim 2: Enhance and Expand CHW Curriculum and Training • Core concepts for the intervention have been identified for integration into the training of CHWs and the development of storytelling videos. • A training for CHWs to use motivational interviewing (5 sessions of 4 hours in duration) with patients has been scheduled for January – March 2013. • A CHW manual with additional materials (e.g., encounter forms, references for healthy heart cooking, community resources) is in development.

  5. Challenges/Questions • Patients are cared for in community health centers that serve culturally and linguistically diverse communities. • In Spanish, patients will come from many places, e.g., Dominican Republic, Puerto Rican, El Salvador • In English, much more diversity exists. • How do we include potential stars who are patients of the health centers, but come from communities less represented? • For example, one center has patients from Ghana and Liberia • The other center has a population of people from Cambodia
