Community health worker interventions for older adults with complex health needs: A systematic review.

Background/objectives: The number of older adults with complex health needs is growing, and this population experiences disproportionate morbidity and mortality. Interventions led by community health workers (CHWs) can improve clinical outcomes in the general adult population with multimorbidity, but few studies have investigated CHW-delivered interventions in older adults.

Design: We systematically reviewed the impact of CHW interventions on health outcomes among older adults with complex health needs.
