社区卫生工作者，在西班牙裔社区被称为推动者，是公共卫生团队公认的成员，其核心作用是为目标社区提供卫生服务。然而，促进者在研究中的作用并没有被认为是他们工作的核心功能。本文将介绍作为研究人员的推动者，这是由移民临床医生网络为“反对家庭暴力的男性联盟”性暴力/亲密伴侣暴力项目设想的。Hombres Unidos项目利用宣传人员作为调查促进者，收集西班牙裔男性农场工人对性暴力和亲密伴侣暴力这一敏感话题的看法。本文表明，经过培训，促销员的语言和文化能力使他们成为研究团队的宝贵补充，特别是在收集敏感信息时。
The community health worker, known as promotor in the Hispanic community, is an accepted member of the public health team whose core role is that of bridging target communities with health services. However, the promotor's role in research has not been considered a core function of their work. This article will present the promotor in the additional role of researcher, as conceived by the Migrant Clinicians Network for the Hombres Unidos Contra La Violencia Familiar (Men United Against Family Violence) sexual violence/intimate partner violence project. The Hombres Unidos project used promotores as survey facilitators, gathering male Hispanic farmworkers' perspectives on the sensitive topic of sexual violence and intimate partner violence. This article demonstrates that when trained, the promotores' linguistic and cultural competence make them a valuable addition to the research team, especially when collecting sensitive information.
