As global health inequities continue to widen, policymakers are
redoubling their efforts to address them. Yet the effectiveness and
quality of these programs vary considerably, sometimes resulting in
the reverse of expected outcomes. While local political issues or
cultural conflicts may play a part in these situations, an
important new book points to a universal factor: the prevailing
deficit model of assessing health needs, which puts disadvantaged
communities on the defensive while ignoring their potential
strengths. The asset model proposed in Health Assets in a Global
Context International Health and Development offers a necessary
complement to the problem-focused framework by assessing multiple
levels of health-promoting aspects in populations, and promoting
joint solutions between communities and outside agencies. The book
provides not only rationales and methodologies (e.g., measuring
resilience and similar elusive qualities) but also concrete
examples of asset-based initiatives in use across the world on the
individual and community levels.
