Brief Summary

Established in 2021, NYCEAL consists of approximately 40 organizational partners and 120 Community Health Workers (CHWs). Over the next four years (2024-2028), NYCEAL will work with this network to implement the following intervention: Building Community Resilience Program (BCR). To assess the impact of this intervention, an implementation research framework will be used, and pre- and post-surveys conducted, and other process evaluation measures collected. Changes in outcomes measures such as stress, resilience, overall wellbeing, and other related outcomes for participants in the BCR program will be measured for community healthcare workers and/or frontline workers that receive educational workshops.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

• Mini-Z Burnout Scale Score

  The Mini Z Burnout Inventory score measures burnout and is calculated by summing responses from all 10 questions, with possible scores ranging from 10 to 50. Higher scores indicate a more positive and joyful work environment, with scores of 40 or above representing a joyful workplace.

  Baseline (within one month before workshops begin) and post-test (within one month after workshops end at 6 months)

Secondary Outcomes (6)

• The Mount Sinai Resilience Scale Scores

  Baseline (within one month before workshops begin) and post-test (within one month after workshops end at 6 months)

• NIOSH Worker Well-being Questionnaire - Stress

  Baseline (within one month before workshops begin) and post-test (within one month after workshops end at 6 months)

• NIOSH Worker Well-being Questionnaire - Collegial Support

  Baseline (within one month before workshops begin) and post-test (within one month after workshops end at 6 months)

• NIOSH Worker Well-being Questionnaire - Meaningful Work

  Baseline (within one month before workshops begin) and post-test (within one month after workshops end at 6 months)

• NIOSH Worker Well-being Questionnaire - Fair/Equitable Compensation

  Baseline (within one month before workshops begin) and post-test (within one month after workshops end at 6 months)

Study Arms (2)

Immediate Intervention Group (First Cohort)

EXPERIMENTAL

The first cohort of up to 36 participants will complete two surveys: a baseline survey within one month before the workshops begin, and a post-test survey within one month after the final workshop (approximately 8 months total from first to last survey)

Behavioral: Building Community Resilience Program (BCR)

Waitlist Group (Second Cohort)

EXPERIMENTAL

The second cohort of up to 36 participants will complete four surveys: two surveys in year 1 (matching the timing of the first cohort's surveys to serve as a control group), and two additional surveys in year 2 when they receive the intervention (a baseline survey within one month before their workshops begin, and a post-test survey within one month after their final workshop).

Behavioral: Building Community Resilience Program (BCR)

Interventions

Building Community Resilience Program (BCR) BEHAVIORAL

To improve CHW resilience and wellbeing, during each BCR cycle, the 6 participating CBOs will send groups of four to six CHWs to six virtual, hour-long, evidence-based interactive workshops (48-72 CHWs over the 2 cycles).

Model Details: The researchers will employ a quasi-experimental pre-post non-equivalent waitlist control group design to proactively minimize logistical barriers, maximize feasibility of implementing the intervention, and reduce ethical concerns of depriving communities of beneficial interventions. The waitlist control sites (the second cohort of CBOs receiving the educational workshops) are expected to have similar sociodemographic characteristics and health burdens as the intervention sites. Data collection in the second cohort of sites will allow the researchers to examine whether observed changes in outcomes are attributable to the intervention and ensure that all of the partnering CBO sites have access to BCR educational workshops for CHWs and frontline workers.
