A prevention systems change framework
The Prevention Systems Change Framework (PSCF) can be used to guide systems-based research planning, monitoring, study team reflective learning, and research evaluation processes to strengthen the links between research and impactful action.
The Prevention Centre is a leader in applying systems thinking to the prevention of chronic disease with the development of new tools and methods to advance research in this field.
We share how prevention researchers can develop a pathway for creating system change through deep systems analysis and reflective learning, followed by the development and implementation of a theory of systems change.
Four key steps of applying systems theory in the context of prevention research
- Applying a systemic lens to the prevention problem being studied
- Holding an implementation focus
- Integrating the systemic lens and implementation focus
- Developing a theory of systems change.
