A systems approach to understanding injury care in LMICs using causal loop diagrams
BACKGROUND: Around 40% of mortality after injuries is avoidable with access to quality care. Investments in interventions which maximise the number of injured persons who access and receive quality care are paramount, especially in low-resourced settings. Selecting such interventions within complex adaptive health systems is challenging due to the multiple interactions within these systems. METHODS: We created a conceptual map, or causal loop dia…
Wicked problems and the recovery of meaning
Injuries cause 6 million deaths and 40 million disabilities annually. Over 90% of deaths occur in low-and-middle-income-countries (LMICs), and nearly half are preventable. This Commentary examines the possibilities and limitations of data to support injury care in LMIC settings. We frame injury care as a wicked problem with complex causality, contested goals, unintended consequences, and an incomplete evidence base. We use critical realism (CR) t…

Does providing everyone with free-of-charge organised exercise opportunities work in public health
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE: Population-level initiatives of free-of-charge organised exercise have been implemented to encourage residents to take up regular physical activity. However, there exists a paucity of evidence on the ability of these interventions to attract and engage residents, especially targeted subgroups. Seeking to contribute to this evidence base, we evaluated a proportionate universal programme providing free exercise sessions, Lee…
Taking a local government perspective for economic evaluation of a population-level programme to promote exercise
The Cost Effectiveness of Ecotherapy as a Healthcare Intervention, Separating the Wood from the Trees
Internationally, shifts to more urbanised populations, and resultant reductions in engagements with nature, have been a contributing factor to the mental health crisis facing many developed and developing countries. While the COVID-19 pandemic reinforced recent trends in many countries to give access to green spaces more weight in political decision making, nature-based activities as a form of intervention for those with mental health problems co…
Modelling the impact of physical activity on public health
Economic Evaluation of Environmental Interventions
Evaluation of the costs and outcomes associated with environmental policies and interventions is often required to inform public policy and allocate scarce resources. Methods to conduct assessments of cost-effectiveness have been developed in the context of pharmaceuticals, but have more recently been applied in public health, diagnostics, and other more complex interventions. The suitability of existing economic evaluation methodology has been e…
