Asset Mapping: requires that participants map or take an inventory of all the “3?” available for use in making improvements in “?” communities.
assets, resources, and skills

Participatory Action Research Data Collection:
Asset Mapping: “Mapping” refers to the creation of a conceptual “?2” that identifies broad categories of assets within and outside the community.

Asset Mapping: Three primary components of asset maps.
1. Primary assets are controlled by “?” such as personal income, individual skills, businesses, media, etc.

outside the community-
Photovoice is a type of participatory action research that involves community members in documenting issues and community strengths using “?2”

- What can we “???”
see happening our lives problem, concern, or strength do about it?

it may allow the researcher to “?” responses to individual questions or reach conclusions that do not adequately reflect what community members “?2”
