Mapping the dynamics of learning communities about Dutch healthy weight approaches: a causal loop diagram.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Learning communities (LCs) are increasingly used among multidisciplinary public health challenges, such as local healthy weight approaches. LCs aim to stimulate learning, collaboration and actions. Previous research has provided insights into the underlying elements of multidisciplinary LCs, but little is known about the perceived causalities of these elements. Therefore, limited is known about what can be done to leverage LCs. This study aims to gain insights into the perceived dynamics of multidisciplinary LCs during the starting phase, including variables, and interconnectedness between variables.

Methods

To elucidate LC dynamics, all members of two separate LCs participated in a qualitative interview about experiences, perceived learning, and actions during th
