Building Connections Intervention
The combined Building Connections intervention incorporates three areas. Participants take part in those for which they are eligible. The obesity/weight management intervention offers coaching and support for education on evidence-based anti-obesity medications (AOM) and a lifestyle behavioral intervention offered by Community Health Workers focused on diet and physical activity. The cancer screening intervention focuses on developing workflows and systems to offer a CHW-delivered population-based intervention to improve colorectal and cervical cancer, focusing on newer screening modalities and monitoring adherence for individuals with a positive screening test result. The mental health intervention uses the evidence-based Strong Minds intervention, a 10-session psychoeducational program provided by trained community health workers with clinical supervision. The skills-based intervention uses an integrative approach aimed at improving depression, anxiety, and trauma-related symptoms.
