Activate Tennessee: A CHW-Supported Program for Patient Activation

The research project will involve community health workers (CHWs) that will help participants to better understand their medical conditions and to responsibly manage their medical needs. The project will focus on participants with the greatest medical needs and those that have many different illnesses at the same time. CHWs will help guide participants in focusing on improving their knowledge and confidence to manage their health conditions and to improve their ability to understand how the healthcare system works. This will give participants the opportunity to take charge of their illnesses and possibly improve their health conditions over time. The CHWs will work together with participants to develop a health plan focused on their specific health needs.
