A Community Health Worker supports Community Engagement and Health Assessments with all the following EXCEPT:

• A. Facilitate Windshield Surveys
• B. May participate in data collection - conduct Focus Groups, develop and conduct surveys
• C. Shares private and confidential community information
• D. Facilitate sharing of resources to the community

Answer: (C)

Maintaining privacy and confidentiality is essential when CHWs engage in community engagement and health assessments. Windshield surveys are quick, observational checks of the community to spot environmental and health-related needs, and CHWs can lead or facilitate these to gather practical context. They may participate in data collection, such as conducting focus groups or developing and administering surveys, to ensure the community’s voice informs the assessment. Facilitating the sharing of resources helps connect residents to services that address identified needs. But sharing private and confidential community information would violate trust and privacy, so it is not appropriate in these activities. Information should be kept confidential and shared only with proper consent or as allowed by policy and law, with sensitive data often de-identified when reported.
