Monitoring and adaptation of a system dynamics approach to prevent childhood overweight and obesity: findings from the LIKE programme
Using LIKE as a case study, this study provides an example of the output of a system dynamics action programme. We show how leverage points can be used as a starting point to develop action ideas that target lower and higher system levels. This demands monitoring and evaluation that facilitates continuous customization of the programme.
