Using an asset mapping approach to evaluate the reach of community-level health equity interventions.
Article in Archives of public health = Archives belges de sante publique, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
backgroundAsset Mapping Score Analysis (AMSA) is a standardized approach to organizing data on community assets. This study uses AMSA in two ways to quantify health equity efforts of the Communities Organizing to Promote Equity (COPE) project: (1) quantify community assets identified by COPE; and (2) apply AMSA methods in a novel way to evaluate the reach and depth of COPE interventions.
methodsCOPE aimed to strengthen community-driven public health by establishing community coalitions, called Local Health Equity Action Teams, in 20 Kansas counties. LHEATs were tasked with: (1) identifying local organizations addressing health and social needs; (2) addressing needs through community-level interventions; and (3) addressing the needs of individual community members (clients). Using the AMSA framework, we assigned an asset score to organizational resources in each community and client-level interventions. We examined the relationship between asset scores and the level of area deprivation at the census block level.
resultsOf 1,786 organizations, 355 community-level interventions, and 3,241 individual clients supported, 63.4% (n = 1,133), 64.9% (n = 231), and 69.6% (n = 2,256) were in areas of high deprivation (Area Deprivation Index ≥ 7), respectively. Compared to lower ADI block groups, mean asset scores were significantly higher in block groups characterized by higher ADI for all three measures (organizations: 4.2 ± 9.06 vs 1.5 ± 4.85, p < .001; community activities: 0.7 ± 2.61 vs 0.2 ± 0.88, p < .001; individual client support: 55.7 ± 67.52 vs 26.7 ± 25.15, p < .001).
conclusionsIn this study, community coalitions prioritized areas of greatest need. GIS-based asset mapping provides a valuable lens for assessing the distribution and intensity of public health efforts beyond traditional evaluation methods.
