Developing a whole systems action plan promoting Dutch adolescents' sleep health.

Background

Inadequate sleep health is a public health problem among Dutch adolescents with detrimental effects on their physical and mental well-being. System approaches are increasingly being used to understand and address public health problems. Therefore, a recent study created a comprehensive Causal Loop Diagram (CLD) that integrated all relevant determinants of adolescent sleep health, underlying system dynamics and potential leverage points.
