Table 5 Results of NGT session: top 5 issues

From: Local professionals’ perceptions of health assets in a low-SES Dutch neighbourhood: a qualitative study

Neighbourhood health asset

How this can be meaningful

Group activities for residents

Provides opportunities for physical exercise and sports and reduces loneliness. Group activities should be promoted and enhanced

Volunteers and volunteer groups

Self-organisation, as an effective approach to tackle health problems, should be stimulated

Community meeting places

Meeting places strengthen social cohesion and help reduce loneliness

Social support service point

This is needed, but currently unavailable. Residents fail to find their way to facilities and services due to poor literacy

Parks and playgrounds

These are available and can be used more effectively and intensively to improve community health
