IDPH, SUHI, IPHA, ILCHWA, and HMPRG conducted this first Community Health Worker Common Indicators (CHW-CI) Employer Survey in 2022 with funding and support from the National Association of Chronic Disease Directors (NACDD) and the CHW Common Indicators Project Leadership Team. The 2022 CHW-CI Employer Survey was open from October 17 to December 15, 2022, to all identified Illinois-based community health worker (CHW) programs. The survey was ultimately sent to 298 organizations, with 120 unique (40%) organizations responding. Of those 120 unique organizations, 105 employ CHWs, and 79 completed the full survey.

The CHW-CI Employer Survey 2022 was created and disseminated through a collaborative effort between the Illinois Department of Public Health, Illinois Community Health Workers Association, Sinai Urban Health Institute, Health and Medicine Policy Research Group, and Illinois Public Health Association. This report provides a snapshot of the survey's findings, including demographics, benefits, roles, and funding.
