Respected opinion leaders in health care can be very effective at disseminating information and best practices throughout health systems. In order to identify the most influential community health workers, the ADAPT study team piloted the use of a text message-based survey distributed to peers at FACES-supported sites.
Ninety-seven percent of workers who received the survey responded to it, and most did so in under one hour, enabling our team to quickly and effectively identify the most influential community health workers at each site.
