VIZ 03 — INFLUENCE LANDSCAPE

Who Shapes Youth Health Behaviour — and Where Our Evidence Sits

Concentric rings map proximity of influence. Evidence tiers distinguish where our research has depth versus what requires further structured inquiry. Click any actor to see the full evidence picture.

How to Read This Landscape

Proximity = influence closeness. Ring 1 actors have daily, direct contact with youth behaviour. Ring 2 actors shape the structural context in which choices happen. Ring 3 actors define the systemic options available.

Border style = evidence confidence. Solid borders mean we have strong primary data from the IDIs — enough to inform direction with confidence. Dashed borders mean influence was referenced but not directly studied. Dotted borders mark actors we know matter but haven't explored — each includes a recommended Phase 2 workstream.

The strategic implication: Our current research has depth along the parent-youth-peer axis. Everything beyond that ring carries evidence gaps that need further structured inquiry before we can act on them. The under-explored actors aren't unknowns — they're named research investments.
