社区健康顾问（CHAs），也被称为促进者，是社区中其他人倾向于寻求建议和支持的非专业人士。纳入CHAs的研究相对较少，并且CHAs尚未在先前的干预研究中用于减少环境烟草烟雾（ETS）暴露。本研究的试点测试CHA评估工具，并探讨促进培训的影响，CHA的知识，态度和信念有关ETS减少。参加者是从当地社区招募的11名妇女。人道主义援助培训在若干社会心理结构上产生了变化。培训后，关于ETS减少和与社区志愿服务相关的情绪反应的预期结果更加积极。自尊和自我效能感在训练后有所提高。未来的研究将调查评估工具中测量的心理社会特征与随后成功实施ETS减少干预之间的关系。
Community health advisors (CHAs), also known as promotores, are lay individuals in the community that others tend to look toward for advice and support. Studies incorporating CHAs are relatively rare, and CHAs have not been used in previous intervention studies to reduce environmental tobacco smoke (ETS) exposure. The present study pilot tested a CHA assessment instrument and examined the effects of promotora training on CHAs' knowledge, attitudes, and beliefs concerning ETS reduction. Participants were 11 women recruited from the local community. CHA training produced changes on several psychosocial constructs. Anticipated outcomes regarding ETS reduction and emotional reactions related to volunteering in the community were more positive after training. Self-esteem and self-efficacy showed increases after training. Future research will investigate the relationship between the psychosocial characteristics measured in the assessment instrument and subsequent success implementing the ETS reduction intervention.
