以资产为基础的社区发展被视为解决健康的社会决定因素和减少健康不平等的一种方式。但是，更好地了解ABCD运作的机制，以及它可能最有效的环境和相关条件，可以提高其在改善健康和福祉以及减少不平等方面的效力。对在第三部门和志愿组织工作的25人进行了访谈和焦点小组讨论，以开始增进对ABCD方法、如何实施以及如何满足弱势群体需求的了解。这些人对遵循ABCD方法的项目有当地的了解，这些项目目前正在英格兰西北部运行。采访被记录下来并进行主题分析。四个总体主题为ABCD的原则和实践提供了深刻的见解：作为变革机制的关系和信任、互惠和联系、“人而不是服务”、问责制和减少依赖以及社会可持续模式。ABCD侧重于识别和发展个人能力、关系、社区参与以及对人们有意义的结果，并与互惠和可接受的关系和支持保持一致。ABCD在支持弱势群体方面可能是最有效的，因为在这种情况下，建立信任的同时，体制和关系环境是值得信赖的，有利于发展人们的能力。
Asset-Based Community Development (ABCD) is seen as a way of tackling the social determinants of health and reducing health inequalities. However, a better understanding of the mechanisms through which ABCD operates, and the environmental and relational conditions within which it is likely to be most effective, could increase its effectiveness at improving health and well-being and reducing inequalities. Interviews and focus groups were conducted with 25 people working in third sector and voluntary organizations to begin to improve understanding about ABCD approaches, how they are implemented, and how they are meeting the needs of disadvantaged populations. These individuals had local area knowledge of programs that follow an ABCD approach and which are currently running in the North West of England. The interviews were transcribed and thematically analyzed. Four overarching themes gave insight into the principles and practices of ABCD: Relationships and trust as mechanisms for change, Reciprocity and connectivity: "people not services," Accountability and reducing dependency, and A socially sustainable model. ABCD focuses on identifying and developing individual capabilities, relationships, engagement within communities, and outcomes that are meaningful to people and consistent with relationships and support that are reciprocal and acceptable. ABCD is likely to be most effective in supporting vulnerable people where building trust is mirrored by an institutional and relational environment that is trustworthy and facilitative of developing people's capabilities.
