How to Develop Your Own Driver Diagram to Address a Health Challenge
 With the goal of helping organizations use population health driver diagrams to address community health challenges, PHF has launched the Developing a Population Health Driver Diagram tool that provides steps for organizations to construct their own driver diagrams. A population health driver diagram can be used collaboratively by public health, healthcare, and other partners to identify the potential primary and secondary drivers that can help to achieve an identified community health objective called an AIM. Learn how you can develop and use population health driver diagrams in your community, or pilot one of the existing driver diagrams.
