Driver Diagram for Reducing Heart Disease Deaths
A driver diagram is a visual display of a theory of what “drives,” or contributes to, the achievement of a project aim. It shows the relationship between the overall aim of the
project, the primary drivers that contribute directly to achieving the aim, the secondary drivers that are components of the primary drivers, and a set of ideas for activating the
drivers.
It is important to note that a driver diagram is a high-level summary of a strategic approach, and just a starting point for more detailed action planning.
In this driver diagram the aim is to reduce heart disease deaths death in the six localities within Hampton and Peninsula Health Districts. The primary drivers include
identifying at-risk populations, providing community outreach and education, and connecting at-risk populations to health care and community supports. The secondary
drivers are shown in relation to each primary driver. The action ideas present a set of community action strategies and a menu of evidence-informed interventions that can be
tailored to advance each of the multiple drivers.
