Health Affairs' Editor-in-Chief Alan Weil interviews Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine's Chidinma Ibe on her recent paper that provides a closer understanding of the value of community health workers' (CHW) voices, social risk factors, and how structural racism shapes CHWs' approach to intervention delivery in structurally vulnerable communities.

Ibe and co-authors state their findings underscore the need to embed antiracist principles in the policies and practices that affect the public health workforce.
