Are you a navigator, community health worker or promotora in rural Colorado? We NEED your voice for a Motivational Interviewing focus group! Participation is online, so there is no need to travel.
The Community Health Worker, Patient Navigator and Promotore de Salud Alliance is creating advanced motivational interview (MI) sessions for PNs, CHWs, PdS and care coordinators throughout the state to put into practice the MI techniques many have learned in a formal setting. The sessions are geared towards understanding how to apply the principles of MI for difficult to reach populations for preventive cancer screening (such as breast, cervical, colorectal and lung).
We are asking for your valuable time to provide input about what issues you are facing in the field to navigate for cancer prevention, and what common issues you experience where you need help. The Alliance team has created modules for integrating motivational interviewing and how to apply its principles towards difficult to reach-populations. Your feedback about whether the approaches we are creating are consistent with the needs in your community is very valuable to us.
When: Noon-1 pm July 23 OR 8:30-9:30 am Aug. 1 (MT)
If you are interested in participating in a one hour focus group to discuss the issues you are facing in the field, and whether the approaches we are creating are consistent with your needs, please fill out this brief survey to confirm availability.
