| Abstract (English): | Introduction: Asset mapping and Social Prescribing (PrS) are key tools in community action to address social determinants of health. This study examines their implementation in Catalonia by exploring facilitating factors, challenges, and perceptions of impact on public health. Methods: A mixed-methods study that included a descriptive analysis of the "Assets and Health" platform and semi-structured interviews with 25 key actors in 11 municipalities. The interviews were analyzed qualitatively to identify patterns in the implementation of the strategies. Results: Between 2016 and 2021, 4,113 activities and 4,214 resources were registered on the "Activos y Salud" platform. Disparity in coverage was observed across age groups and provinces, with limited representation of activities for young people. The impact of COVID-19 significantly affected the registration and sustainability of activities. Community background, such as the existence of previous intersectoral processes, was crucial to the success of mapping and PrS. Strategies included intersectoral meetings, use of digital tools, and collaboration with universities. Challenges identified included lack of specific resources, digital divides, and difficulties in continuously updating assets. PrS was adapted to local characteristics through differentiated circuits. Participants highlighted positive impacts such as the creation of community networks, reduced isolation, and increased social participation. Conclusions: Effective implementation requires overcoming barriers, strengthening local capacities, training professionals, improving digital infrastructure and community participation, incorporating artificial intelligence, and transferable learnings that guide i mplementation in other contexts.

| Abstract (Spanish): | Objetivo: Este estudio analiza la implementación del mapeo en activos y la prescripción social en Cataluña, identificando factores facilitadores, desafíos y percepciones de impacto en la salud pública. Metodología: Se realizó un estudio de diseño mixto que incluyó un análisis descriptivo de la plataforma Activos y Salud con entrevistas semiestructuradas con 25 actores clave en 11 municipios, analizados mediante metodología cualitativa. Resultados: Entre 2016 y 2021 se registraron 4113 actividades y 4214 recursos en la plataforma Activos y Salud. Se observó disparidad en la cobertura según grupos de edad y provincias, con una representación limitada de actividades para jóvenes. El impacto del COVID-19 afectó significativamente el registro y sostenibilidad de las actividades. Los antecedentes comunitarios, como la existencia de procesos intersectoriales previos, fueron cruciales para el éxito del mapeo y la prescripción social. Las estrategias incluyeron reuniones intersectoriales, uso de herramientas digitales y colaboración con universidades. Los desafíos identificados abarcaron la falta de recursos específicos, las brechas digitales y las dificultades en la actualización continua de activos. La prescripción social se adaptó a las características locales mediante circuitos diferenciados. Los participantes destacaron impactos positivos como la creación de redes comunitarias, reducción del aislamiento y mayor participación social. Conclusiones: La implementación efectiva exige superar barreras, fortalecer capacidades locales, capacitar profesionales, mejorar infraestructura digital y participación comunitaria, incorporando inteligencia artificial y aprendizajes transferibles que orienten la implemen tación en otros contextos.

| Abstract (Portuguese): | Introdução: O mapeamento de ativos e a Prescrição Social (PS) são ferramentas essenciais na ação comunitária voltada para enfrentar os determinantes sociais da saúde. Este estudo examina sua implementação na Catalunha, explorando fatores facilitadores, desafios e percepções de impacto na saúde pública. Métodos: Foi realizado um estudo de métodos mistos, incluindo uma análise descritiva da plataforma "Activos y Salud" e entrevistas semiestruturadas com 25 atores-chave em 11 municípios. As entrevistas foram analisadas qualitativamente para identificar padrões na implementação das estratégias. Resultados: Entre 2016 e 2021, foram registrados 4.113 atividades e 4.214 recursos na plataforma "Activos y Salud". Foram observadas disparidades na cobertura entre faixas etárias e províncias, com representação limitada de atividades voltadas para jovens. A pandemia de COVID-19 impactou significativamente o registro e a sustentabilidade das atividades. Processos comunitários pré-existentes, como a colaboração intersetorial, foram cruciais para o sucesso do mapeamento de ativos e da PS. As estratégias implementadas incluíram reuniões intersetoriais, uso de ferramentas digitais e colaboração com universidades. Entre os desafios identificados estão a falta de recursos específicos, as lacunas digitais e as dificuldades na atualização contínua dos ativos. A PS foi adaptada às características locais por meio de circuitos diferenciados. Os participantes destacaram impactos positivos, como a criação de redes comunitárias, a redução do isolamento social e o aumento da participação social. Conclusões: A implementação efetiva exige superar barreiras, fortalecer capacidades locais, capacitar profissionais, melhorar a infraestrutura digital e a participação comunitária, incorporando inteligência artificial e aprendizados transferíveis que orientem a implementação em outros contextos.
