THRIVE can be a valuable tool in addressing specific ways to close the health gap by building on strengths in disenfranchised communities. Further, a community health approach can be extremely valuable in addressing health disparities because factors in the environment contribute to them. Those using THRIVE should identify the critical health gaps and design and shape a strategy specifically targeted to close that gap. THRIVE can help close the health gap by: 1) Changing the way people think about health and safety; 2) Providing an evidence-based framework for change; 3) Building community capacity while building on community strength; 4) Fostering links to decision makers and other resources.
