Answer to Question 2

Answer: 1
Explanation: 1. Steps in the ABCD model include recognition and identification of community strengths and building on those strengths and existing social capital to address problems. Identification of strengths might occur through the process of asset mapping in which the resources, skills, and capacities of individual community members are determined. The results from asset mapping help facilitate recognition of self-efficacy, provide information to strategize ways to increase competence, and promote cooperation among community members.
