Figure 2.

Figure 2 is a map of the 92 statements generated by this study as 2-dimensional polygons on the basis of how conceptually similar or dissimilar the ideas were to each other (ie, which statements clustered together). The name listed for each cluster represents the dominant theme based on the statements located in that cluster. Moving from top to bottom, there is a shift from actions at the system and community level to individual-level actions. This conceptual structure formed the foundation for the self-management support strategy for underserved populations.

The final 11-cluster solution of the 92 statements generated, grouped by 4 conceptual groupings: 1) fostering partnerships, 2) systems level system (actions implemented by governments, health care systems, nongovernment organizations), 3) community (actions addressed by communities and related organizations), and 4) individual (actions directed toward clients). The black lines represent the conceptual groupings of the 11 clusters.
