The Impact of Community Health Workers on the Uptake of Preventative Care Services in London, UK

Each CHWW will be deployed to cover 120 households in defined geographies ('villages') in North and South Westminster. LSOAs in the bottom 20% deprivation have been identified as priority areas for the CHWWs to be deployed. All households in the villages allocated to receive the intervention will be approached by the CHWW allocated to that village, irrespective of demographic characteristics and previous needs. CHWWs will visit all households each month, building a longitudinal relationship with each household so that problems arising from one month to the next can be captured in good time.
