Interactive Web-Based Asset Map
Community AssetsIndividual Community and Research VolunteersMet in a weekly workgroup to discuss, plan the features and capabilities, and develop the asset map
Existing Physical AssetsWorked together to identify existing physical activity and nutrition resources
Institutional and Individual ConsultationsUtilized both formal and informal networks to determine individuals who could assist with technical aspects of the project (i.e. data survey collection instruments for sustainability and software development)
Community FeedbackAsset map layout presented to the larger community via a “Project Summit,” where community leaders and members provided feedback and recommendations to ensure cultural and social acceptability
