Peer reviewed: Yes Authors: Occhipinti, Jo-An and Rose, Danya and Skinner, Adam and Rock, Daniel and Song, Yun Ju C. and Prodan, Ante and Rosenberg, Sebastian and Freebairn, Louise and Vacher, Catherine and Hickie, Ian B. Publication: International Journal of Environmental Research and Public Health. Year: 2022 DOI: https://doi.org/10.3390/ijerph19031468 Method: A systems dynamics model for Western Australia was run for multiple competing scenarios. Message: Systems models can inform robust decision making despite uncertainty about the trajectories of population mental health outcomes.

August 31, 2021

Peer reviewed: Yes Authors: Skinner, Adam and Occhipinti, Jo-An and Song, Yun Ju Christine and Hickie, Ian B. Publication: BJPsych Open. Year: 2021 DOI: https://doi.org/10.1192/bjo.2021.989 Method: A systems dynamics model for 10 Primary Health Networks (PHNs) in New South Wales that serve regions that vary in terms of population size, geographic area, population density, levels of disadvantage and suicide rates. Message: There is potential for substantial variation in projected reductions in suicide mortality if implementing a standardised state-based suicide prevention strategy versus a regionally driven approach.

Peer reviewed: Yes Authors: García-Alonso, Carlos R. and Almeda, Nerea and Salinas-Pérez, José A. and Gutiérrez-Colosía, Mencía R. and Uriarte-Uriarte, José J. and Salvador-Carulla, Luis Publication: PLOS ONE. Year: 2019 DOI: https://doi.org/10.1371/journal.pone.0212179 Method: A Monte-Carlo simulation combined with a fuzzy inference engine was used to examine the Relative Technical Efficiency (RTE) of three proposed intervention scenarios. Message: Decision makers can use information from this approach to design new interventions and policies.
