Community of Practice of to address health inequities during and beyond the COVID-19 pandemic.

Using principles of Community-Based Participatory Research, we describe a community of practice for community health workers and promotoras (CHW/Ps) to address COVID-19 inequities in the Latinx community. We offer a concrete example of how programs can engage CHW/Ps as full partners in the research process, and how programs can support CHW/Ps' capacity and workforce development during implementation. We conducted four focus groups with CHW/Ps ( = 31) to understand needs and invited 15 participants to the community of practice to work on issues identified by the group.
