 This study examined the feasibility of using a community health worker, CHW, model to connect community members to appropriate health research studies at six clinical and translational science award, CTSA, institutions. The study found that a large majority of participants, particularly African Americans, expressed willingness to participate in research studies. Additionally, the top two health concerns reported by participants were hypertension and diabetes. This suggests that the CHW model can effectively connect community members to research studies that address their health needs. This article was authored by Deep Theosphomor, Alvin H.
