• Description:
  Objective: This pilot trial aimed to determine implementation processes and outcomes to integrate basic worker health education (WHEB) in co-ethnic, not directly worker-focused, community agencies that function as cultural-linguistic brokers and service providers to immigrants. Methods: A Chinese WHEB prototype was developed and implemented at Chinese, Pan-Asian, and nonprofit community-based and Chinese faith-based organizations (N = 8). The implementation process (delivery model choice and areas for change) and outcomes (suitability and adoption sustainability) were evaluated qualitatively. Results: The agencies selected four delivery models. Five agencies reached ≥ 70% of their target goal. Respondents described the chosen delivery models as suitable for the varying agency contexts. Three agencies continued WHEB; reasons for continuing or not continuing were identified. Conclusions: Findings highlight strategies to enhance the uptake and diffusion of worker health educational interventions in community settings. [Description provided by NIOSH]
