Article Synopsis
- Causal loop diagrams (CLDs) are tools used in systems thinking to visualize and understand complex behaviors in health systems, helping to evaluate policy impacts and improve discussions with stakeholders.
- Although CLDs have gained popularity in health systems research, their application remains limited in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs), where they can utilize secondary data due to challenges in primary data collection.
- The paper offers a step-by-step guide for researchers in LMICs on how to design studies using CLDs, addressing crucial questions about research scope, data needs, development methods, and validation processes, aiming to increase the use of CLDs in these contexts.
