Abstract
As noted in Part 1, this column, Part 2, will focus on discussing the application of the Dimensions of Community Capacity through community engaged projects. These projects were focused on beginning to overcome the structural inequities exacerbated by the COVID-19 pandemic and were predominantly led by Community Health Workers (CHWs) who represented the communities they serve in South Texas.
