An evaluation of the feasibility, value and impact of using participatory modelling to inform the development of a regional system dynamics model for youth suicide prevention
This is one of very few evaluations of a participatory systems modelling project involving young people with lived and living experience of self-harm/suicidal behaviour and bereaved families. Our study offers novel theoretical and practical insights into the processes adopted to ensure the safe and inclusive involvement of diverse perspectives in developing a youth suicide prevention system dynamics model.
