• C. Not Applicable
• D. Unknown

Answer: (A)

Promotora (female) or promotor (male) is a term used for a community health worker who works within a community to promote health, provide education, and connect people to health services. Because CHWs are often trusted community members who share language and culture with those they serve, this title is a common synonym for the role. The emphasis in this work is on outreach, education, and navigation to care rather than clinical duties, and the wording often varies by region or language.
