Project LEAD and Collective Impact. In the course of researching promising practices, Project LEAD was
identified as a promising initiative already at work in the region. As background:
Project LEAD, is substance use disorder and opioid response program by the Hampton &
Peninsula Health Districts (HPHD). Project LEAD's mission is to reduce opioid overdose deaths,
beginning in the Cities of Hampton and Newport News, where the age-adjusted opioid overdose
death rates are much higher than that of the Commonwealth of Virginia. Project LEAD aims to
accomplish this objective through several methods, all of which support HPHD's vision to have
the healthiest cities and counties in the state. Project LEAD's strategies include Linkages,
Education, Awareness, and Data.
Among other reasons, Project LEAD is distinctive for its community-collaborative approach of bringing
community partners together for learning and action. In concept, Project LEAD also reflects some
elements of the Collective Impact model which is widely known and implemented in communities
across the United States.
2.2 Driver Diagrams.
To bring additional focus to the planning process, the considerations outlined in Section 2.1 were
incorporated into a set of four ‘driver diagrams’, one for each of the four topic areas. Thumbnails of the
driver diagrams are shown in Exhibit 2, and the actual diagrams are provided in Appendix C.
