We explored the benefits of using community health worker (CHW) encounter forms to collect data on patient interactions and assessed the effectiveness of these forms in guiding and directing interactions. <\/jats:p><jats:p> Methods. A 1-page standardized encounter form was developed to document topics discussed during visits with diabetes patients. A portion of the form was designed to be used as a script to guide the interaction and assist patients in setting appropriate self-management goals. Data were also collected via CHW work logs and interviews with CHWs and their supervisors to validate findings. <\/jats:p><jats:p> Results. Data were collected for 1198 interactions with 540 patients at 6 community health centers. Self-management goals were set during 62% of encounters. With respect to the most recent self-management goal set, patients who had set a challenging goal were more likely to be in the action stage of change than in other stages. Work logs revealed that CHWs engaged in a number of activities not involving direct patient interactions and thus not captured on encounter forms. <\/jats:p><jats:p> Conclusions. Evaluating and monitoring CHWs\u2019 daily activities has been challenging. Encounter forms have great potential for documenting the work of CHWs with patients. <\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.2105\/ajph.2011.300416","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2012,5,17]],"date-time":"2012-05-17T20:09:38Z","timestamp":1337285378000},"page":"e70-e75","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":9,"title":["Community Health Worker Encounter Forms: A Tool to Guide and Document Patient Visits and Worker Performance"],"prefix":"10.2105","volume":"102","author":[{"given":"Celeste A.","family":"Lemay","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"The authors are with the University of Massachusetts Medical School, Worcester."}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Warren J.","family":"Ferguson","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"The authors are with the University of Massachusetts Medical School, Worcester."}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"J.
