There is a need to shift from deficit-based environmental health approaches toward a more balanced framework that also considers community strengths at a granular level. The Universal Basic Neighborhood Framework integrates both qualitative and quantitative data across 35 health-supportive elements within topics of environmental, housing, social, and transportation domains, promoting an understanding of health as emerging from a range of environmental factors. The framework provides a more balanced approach by presenting both negative and positive health determinants, promotes leveraging community strengths and voice in public health interventions, and enables better understanding of community health needs and assets.
有必要从基于缺陷的环境卫生方法转向一个更平衡的框架，该框架还在细粒度层面考虑社区优势。通用基本邻里框架整合了环境、住房、社会和交通领域主题中35个健康支持要素的定性和定量数据，促进将健康理解为由一系列环境因素产生。该框架通过呈现负面和正面的健康决定因素提供了一种更平衡的方法，促进在公共卫生干预中利用社区优势和声音，并有助于更好地理解社区健康需求和资产。
