초록
[영문]Partnerships were established with the University of Arizona’s Healthcare Partnership to train promotores?Spanish-speaking community health workers?as tobacco cessation counselors. Tobacco Free El Paso certified promotores to help identify tobacco users and offer tobacco cessation counseling services. The project certified 89 participants, of whom 95% were promotores; 88% were Hispanic/Latino, 67% were females, and 62% indicated Spanish as their primary language. Participants who completed Tecnicas Basicas, Treatment Specialist, and Dejate de ese Vicio certifications significantly increased self-confidence levels to deliver brief smoking cessation interventions (P qqqlt; .05). Satisfaction scores (scale = 1?5) were also relatively high for each certification (Tecnicas Basicas, mean = 4.8; Treatment Specialist, mean = 4.7; Dejate de ese Vicio, mean = 4.6). The results suggest that promotores understood the concepts and methodologies presented.
