POU-MARTI, Narcís et al. Community health decision-making through the assets mapping. Gac Sanit [online]. 2022, vol.36, n.4, pp.392-395.  Epub Dec 19, 2022. ISSN 0213-9111.  https://dx.doi.org/10.1016/j.gaceta.2021.01.006.

This is a report about the experience on redefining the health asset mapping methodology. The aim of this experience consisted of making an analysis on health inequalities, as well as of using it as a tool in decision-making participative processes in the local administration area. Thus, a replicable procedure for all ages and groups was designed. Besides this, assets have been widely classified, in accordance with the territorial distribution, people's profiles and asset features. Both the upload of data to a geographical information system and the large amount of data gathered allowed us to enlarge the common interpretation of data and present the information in a dynamic way.

Keywords : Health assets; Health promotion; Community health; Salutogenesis; Assets-based community development model.
