Using a community-based participatory research (CBPR) approach, the Wellness Engagement (WE) community partners conducted an asset mapping study as the first step in a comprehensive needs assessment to identify existing and potential assets that could be used to promote better health.
We used asset mapping as a systematic approach to 1) empower local youth and urban planning students to identify community assets related to physical activity and nutrition and 2) facilitate co-learning between youth and university students to identify assets that could be considered for future pilot interventions that address obesity.
We created five teams of local youth led by an urban planning college student that identified and collated existing and potential assets useful for health promotion.
Existing and potential assets were grouped into 12 categories significant for promoting physical activity and healthy food options. Of the 358 identified, 18% were potential assets. Youth and students reported that the collective process enabled them to see assets and the community with new perspective.
An asset mapping approach that partners local experts (youth) with outside experts (urban planning students) within a larger CBPR framework is an effective model to promote co-learning and appreciating the value of differing expertise.
采用基于社区的参与式研究（CBPR）方法，健康参与（WE）社区合作伙伴开展了一项资产映射研究，作为全面需求评估的第一步，以确定可用于促进更健康的现有和潜在资产。
我们将资产映射作为一种系统方法，以1）使当地青年和城市规划专业学生能够识别与体育活动和营养相关的社区资产，以及2）促进青年和大学生之间的共同学习，以确定可考虑用于未来解决肥胖问题的试点干预措施的资产。
我们创建了五支由城市规划专业大学生带领的当地青年团队，这些团队识别并整理了对健康促进有用的现有和潜在资产。
现有和潜在资产被分为12类，对促进体育活动和健康食品选择具有重要意义。在识别出的358项资产中，18%为潜在资产。青年和学生报告称，集体过程使他们能够以新的视角看待资产和社区。
在更大的CBPR框架内，将当地专家（青年）与外部专家（城市规划专业学生）相结合的资产映射方法是促进共同学习和认识不同专业知识价值的有效模式。
