Table 4 Community engagement challenges

From: Improving local health through community health workers in Cambodia: challenges and solutions

Challenges to engaging the community in health promotion sessions

 

1. Community members are busy with work and home duties and so do not have time to engage in group education

2. Community members do not believe health promotion messages or do not respect CHW knowledge

3. Community members are not interested in health topics

4. No incentives for community members to attend health promotion sessions

5. Difficulty in understanding the link between poor health practices and ill health
