View original scientific description
Established in 2021, NYCEAL consists of approximately 40 organizational partners and 120 Community Health Workers (CHWs). Over the next four years (2024-2028), NYCEAL will work with this network to implement the following intervention: Building Community Resilience Program (BCR). To assess the impact of this intervention, an implementation research framework will be used, and pre- and post-surveys conducted, and other process evaluation measures collected. Changes in outcomes measures such as stress, resilience, overall wellbeing, and other related outcomes for participants in the BCR program will be measured for community healthcare workers and/or frontline workers that receive educational workshops.
Interventions
BEHAVIORAL
Building Community Resilience Program (BCR)
To improve CHW resilience and wellbeing, during each BCR cycle, the 6 participating CBOs will send groups of four to six CHWs to six virtual, hour-long, evidence-based interactive workshops (48-72 CHWs over the 2 cycles).
Primary outcome measures
Mini-Z Burnout Scale Score
Time frame: Baseline (within one month before workshops begin) and post-test (within one month after workshops end at 6 months)
The Mini Z Burnout Inventory score measures burnout and is calculated by summing responses from all 10 questions, with possible scores ranging from 10 to 50. Higher scores indicate a more positive and joyful work environment, with scores of 40 or above representing a joyful workplace.

Frequently asked questions
What is a clinical trial?
A clinical trial is a research study that tests new medical treatments, drugs, devices, or procedures to determine their safety and effectiveness. Trials are carefully designed and monitored to protect participants while advancing medical knowledge.
Is it safe to participate?
Clinical trials follow strict safety guidelines and ethical standards. Trials must be reviewed and approved, and participants are closely monitored by medical professionals throughout the study. You can withdraw at any time if you choose.
Will I be compensated?
Many clinical trials offer compensation for your time, travel expenses, and inconvenience. The specific compensation varies by study and will be discussed during the screening process. All study-related medical care is typically provided at no cost to participants.
Will I receive a placebo instead of treatment?
When effective treatment exists, participants typically receive either the standard treatment plus the study intervention, or the standard treatment plus placebo. You would not be denied effective care. Placebos are primarily used when no proven treatment is available, or in addition to standard care. Your trial consent form will clearly explain what treatments you may receive.
Can I leave a trial if I change my mind?
Absolutely. Participation in clinical trials is completely voluntary. You have the right to withdraw from the study at any time, for any reason, without penalty or loss of benefits to which you are otherwise entitled.
How long does a clinical trial last?
Trial duration varies widely depending on the study design and purpose. Some trials last just a few weeks, while others may continue for months or years. The study coordinator will provide specific timeline information during your screening call.
