Community health workers are responsible for finding, processing, and transferring health information to communities with limited access to health‐related resources, including farmworkers. This paper is the culmination of an undergraduate student research project to explore the learning processes and preferences of farmworker‐serving community health workers in the USA. The project was designed for students from farmworker or agricultural backgrounds at two North Carolina universities and was supported by a North Carolina Department of Health and Human Services workforce development grant. Semi‐structured interviews were conducted, in person and virtually, with a convenience sample of 17 current and former community health workers. The interview data were analysed thematically and identified a preference for a combination of learning styles, with visual and hands‐on learning being the most preferred. Community health workers also identified the importance of learning preferences in relation to their responsibilities as health educators. This study provides librarians, along with public health and medical professionals, with useful information about learning preferences to inform the creation of new and varied learning materials for community health workers.

探索为农场工人服务的社区卫生工作者的学习偏好

社区卫生工作者负责查找、处理健康信息并将其传输给获取健康相关资源有限的社区（包括农场工人）。本文是本科生研究项目的巅峰之作，旨在探索美国农场工人服务的社区卫生工作者的学习过程和偏好。该项目是为北卡罗来纳州两所大学的农场工人或农业背景的学生设计的，并得到了北卡罗来纳州卫生与公众服务部劳动力发展补助金的支持。我们对 17 名现任和前任社区卫生工作者进行了面对面和虚拟的半结构化访谈。对访谈数据进行了主题分析，并确定了对学习方式组合的偏好，其中视觉和实践学习是最受欢迎的。社区卫生工作者还确定了学习偏好与其作为健康教育者的职责的重要性。这项研究为图书馆员以及公共卫生和医疗专业人员提供了有关学习偏好的有用信息，以便为社区卫生工作者创建新的、多样化的学习材料提供信息。
