A new tool to measure approaches to supervision from the perspective of community health workers: a prospective, longitudinal, validation study in seven countries.

The PSS is the first validated tool that measures supervisory experience from the perspective of CHWs and is applicable across multiple, culturally-distinct global health contexts with a wide range of CHW typologies. Simple, quick to administer, and freely available in 11 languages, the PSS could assist practitioners in the management of community health programmes.
