The CHW-SYSTIM study (Community Health Workers Systematically Assessing and Addressing Social Determinants of Health to Improve Outcomes in Community-based Health Centers) prepared this training workbook to onboard community health workers in a primary care outreach research study. Other researchers can adapt the training schedules, glossary, modules, and templates to their own projects.
Standard Operating Procedure
Master Code Set
The master code set provides a centralized, standardized reference of clinical codes across various disease areas along with their corresponding descriptions and classifications. It is designed to support consistent cohort definition, analysis, and reporting by ensuring uniform use of codes across studies and sites. By consolidating all relevant codes into a single, curated resource, the master code set reduces ambiguity, improves reproducibility, and streamlines multi-site research workflows. This comprehensive mapping enables researchers to efficiently identify, compare, and analyze patient populations across a wide range of conditions and data domains.

Interim Progress Report (IPR) Project Management Status Tracker
This Interim Progress Report (IPR) Project Management Status Tracker can help study teams divide IPRs into sections for better task distribution. It refers to previously submitted IPRs and is structured so instructions for each section are clear and precise. Researchers can adapt the form to manage their IPRs.

Scholars Program Processes and Procedures
The PaTH Scholars Program was established to help researchers gain the skills and confidence needed to lead and participate in multi-site “real-world evidence” studies by mentoring and engaging scholars through hands-on participation alongside experienced PaTH researchers. This resource may be adapted by others wanting to create similar programs.
