Category: Briefing Paper Concepts Series
Work programme: Asset based approaches for health improvement
Author: GCPH
The aim of this Concepts Series briefing paper is to present the current evidence and thinking on asset based approaches for health improvement, the background and rationale for these approaches, and the practical challenges of adopting these approaches in reality. It is also hoped that this paper will help stimulate policy makers, practitioners and researchers to think differently about how they might minimise the risks of widening health inequalities and approach the goal of improving the health of communities and populations.
