Lay summary
We will draw on the WSIC data to look back at whether households that were allocated a CHWW were more likely, or not, to receive the immunizations, screening and health checks they were eligible for, than households not allocated a CHWW.
Public benefit statement
This research will support an emerging evidence base around the benefits of a proactive, hyperlocal, community-led support service that is integrated into primary care. The findings are likely to advance locally relevant knowledge on scaling up a strategy to overcome entrenched inequities in access to effective health care for under-served populations. By placing this research at the intersection of policy, health care providers and consumers, the evidence generated has substantial potential to inform decision-making for system planners. Such approaches, if found to be effective and cost-effective have the potential to positively impact on the healthcare of millions of people in the UK on a daily basis.
