“…There were 13 of the 28 (46%) participants who completed the first CHW visit within 14 days, and 20 of the 28 (71%) completed the agreed-on number of CHW visits within 180 days ( Table 2 ). 20 , 21 The number of visits varied, and some participants required longer visit times than others. The initial CHW assessments usually lasted 60-90 minutes, and subsequent visits were <30 minutes.…”

“…Programs that train community members who have lived experience to provide disease education and advocacy, facilitate behavioral change, and assist with health care and community resource navigation have been shown to improve outcomes for Latinx individuals, but they are largely underutilized in kidney disease. [9][10][11][12][13][14][15][16][17] There are a number of terms for this role, including community health worker (CHW), navigator, peer navigator, peer support specialist, peer mentor, popular opinion leader, and promotora. In this article, we use the term CHW and refer to the individual receiving the intervention as a mentee.…”

Latinx populations face a higher burden of kidney failure and associated negative outcomes compared to non-Latinx white populations, despite sharing a similar prevalence of chronic kidney disease. Community health worker (CHW) interventions have been shown to improve outcomes for Latinx individuals, but they are largely underutilized in kidney disease. We convened a workshop of four ongoing kidney disease CHW programs to identify successes, challenges, potential solutions, and needed research in order to promote CHW programs for Latinx individuals with kidney disease. Key points from the workshop and recommendations for intervention and research are highlighted. Facilitators of program success included prioritizing trust-building with participants, enabling participants to determine what aspects of the intervention were needed, providing participants with tools to help themselves and others after the intervention, and taking a trauma-informed approach to relationships. Challenges included persistent systemic barriers despite successful care navigation, and low recruitment and retention. Research is needed to capture the impact of CHW interventions on outcomes, and to determine how to implement CHW interventions for people with kidney disease nationwide.

Among Hispanic women, breast cancer is the most common cancer accounting for close to 30% of the total cancer cases. It is estimated that in 2018 alone, 24,000 Hispanics were diagnosed with invasive breast cancer. Of significant importance is that breast cancer is the leading cause of cancer death (16%) among Hispanic women, with over 3000 patients dying in 2018 secondary to this disease.Despite the decrease in breast cancer mortality rates seen in recent years, the magnitude of that decrease among Hispanics is lower compared to the decrease seen among non-Hispanic White women (1.1% per year vs 1.8% per year). Potential contributing factors associated with this phenomenon include the fact that Hispanics are more likely to be diagnosed with more advanced stages and to have tumors with aggressive biology. In addition, sociodemographic factors and difficulty accessing medical care are likely to play an important role. It has been described that Hispanic women are less likely that non-Hispanic Whites to receive appropriate and timely breast cancer treatment. In this chapter, we will review the complexities of breast cancer diagnosis and treatment. We will briefly review some of the challenges in cancer care delivery that Hispanics experience and will review data describing the detrimental impact that treatment delays can have among minorities and some of the unique challenges that Hispanics experience.
