Abstract
This study examines the effectiveness of self-management training with emphasis on trainer traits. Twenty-two community health workers (CHWs) participated in a two week-long self-management training program. Twenty were interviewed a week later to examine their perceptions of the training and the trainer. Participants expressed satisfaction with the training and highlighted four themes around how trainers must play a transformational role grounded in cultural humility: intentional relationship building, commitment to ongoing learning and transfer of knowledge, participatory engagement, and empowerment. CHW self-management trainers who are culturally attuned with participants' backgrounds stand a better chance of conducting training that is sensitive to the needs of CHWs and their clients.
