The use of such approaches within public health research and practice has grown tremendously over the past decade. Identifying and understanding the dynamic relationships between individuals and their social and physical environments can help us identify potential leverage points for intervention. This course provides an introduction to systems thinking and models in public health, explores the importance of associated theories and underscores the utility of systems science approaches within public health research and practice.
