SUPPLEMENT: Empowering Community Health Workers in Clinical Research: A Proposal to Enhance the MJFF Clinical Research Training Modules with Multimedia for Greater Impact

The NYU Clinical and Translational Science Institute (CTSI), in collaboration with The Michael J. Fox Foundation, is developing an online, asynchronous, module-based community health worker (CHW) training to improve health literacy around brain health and neurodegenerative diseases, such as Parkinson’s disease (PD), and their associated clinical research. CHWs are an underutilized workforce that can enhance participation in disease-specific clinical studies among the culturally and lower and middle income hard-to-reach populations and those with difficult-tomanage neurodegenerative conditions. One of the main goals of the training is to facilitate a deeper understanding of research enrollment opportunities within the communities that CHWs serve. Toward this end, we intend to make the training available to other institutions that employ CHWs.
