While the motivation is admirable I doubt that this will make any difference in anything.

"Recent research suggests that “drivers” is a more accessible, understandable term that communities prefer. The National PRAPARE® Team is moving  forward with adopting the term “social drivers of health” in lieu of “social determinants of health”, as this more accurately describes the ability for policy-makers, communities, and individuals to affect change on the factors negatively impacting health and well-being."
