When the community collaborates in a plan to create services and education to enhance their health and well-being, the plan is most likely to:
A) Create an environment that fosters change
B) Have an increased rate of success
C) Empower the community but diminish the rate of success
D) Shift the focus from dependency to empowerment
Ans: D
Feedback:
Collaborating with community members shifts the focus from dependency on experts to empowerment of all together working toward a goal. Using an assets model requires taking a different philosophic approach to the assessment process. Interaction with the community is the primary approach. Although this approach may also help create an environment that fosters change and leads to an increased rate of success, the most likely result is the focus shifting from dependency to empowerment. It is not likely that the approach would empower the community but diminish the rate of success.
