Building recovery capital: co-creating an assets-based community engagement toolkit for people accessing drug and alcohol treatment services.
Article in Frontiers in public health, 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
Background: Community assets such as social groups, volunteering opportunities and wellbeing activities can strengthen recovery capital and support long-term recovery; however, people accessing drug and alcohol treatment services often face barriers to engagement. This study aimed to co-create an Assets-Based Community Engagement (ABCE) toolkit to strengthen connections between treatment services and community assets. Methods: A rapid evidence review informed a 12-week co-creation project involving workshops with service users, peer mentors and staff. Participants explored barriers, enablers and motivators to community asset engagement and identified priorities for toolkit development. Data were analyzed using a priori coding. Results: Key barriers included cost, transport difficulties, digital exclusion, low confidence and limited awareness of opportunities. Enablers were peer support, trusted relationships, practical guidance and accessibility, while motivators centered on wellbeing, social connection and personal development. The co-creation process produced four toolkit components: a six-stage engagement model, a Community Connector role description, a guided conversation tool and recommendations for enhancing a digital community assets platform. Discussion: Findings highlight the importance of addressing practical, social, and informational barriers to community engagement and demonstrate how rapid co-creation can generate practical resources for treatment services. Conclusion: The ABCE toolkit offers a scalable, recovery-oriented framework for strengthening recovery capital through increased engagement with community assets and embedding asset-based practice within treatment and recovery services.
