“…The framing of 'complexity' in contemporary health evaluation research draws on a range of theoretical perspectives, particularly theories of complex adaptive systems from biological science and computing disciplines (Hummelbrunner 2011). While definitions vary across fields of evaluation research (Hummelbrunner 2011, Mowles 2014, complexity perspectives are typically used to interpret how interventions with multiple mechanisms of effect interact dynamically with the context, or system of structures and relationships in which they are delivered (Finegood, Johnston et al 2012). While the 'system' is usually understood as open and emergent (Cohn, Clinch et al 2013), boundaries may be articulated for the purposes of defining the scope of evaluation, and for mapping out the anticipated range of structures and actors (social, economic, political, environmental) that might interact with the intervention, and explored through the evaluation research.…”

“…Dans cette optique, de nouvelles approches en santé publique fondée sur des données probantes ont été explorées et ont mené à de nombreux appels en faveur de l'application des concepts et des méthodes de la science des systèmes 8,23,[26][27][28][29][30] . Les réponses à ces appels ont donné lieu à un nombre croissant d'études empiriques utilisant des techniques de modélisation systémique et d'analyse de réseaux.…”

“…Les réponses à ces appels ont donné lieu à un nombre croissant d'études empiriques utilisant des techniques de modélisation systémique et d'analyse de réseaux. Ces études empiriques ont égale-ment contribué à l'émergence d'une littéra-ture sur les potentialités de l'application de la pensée systémique, définie de façon variable, au développement et à l'utilisation des connaissances au sein de la population et en santé publique 10,[26][27][28]31,32 . Cette documentation demeure cependant relativement silencieuse sur les modalités de transformation des concepts et des principes de la pensée systémique en stratégies pratiques conduisant à la création et à l'utilisation de connaissances destinées à la résolution de problèmes complexes.…”

“…25 Consequently, new approaches to evidence-informed public health are being explored and have led to many calls for the application of concepts and methods of systems science. 8,23,[26][27][28][29][30] Responses to these calls have resulted in a growing number of empirical studies that use systems modelling and network analysis techniques. These empirical studies have also contributed to the body of literature on the promise of applying systems thinking, variably defined, to knowledge development and use in population and public health.…”

“…These empirical studies have also contributed to the body of literature on the promise of applying systems thinking, variably defined, to knowledge development and use in population and public health. 10,[26][27][28]31,32 This emerging literature is relatively silent on the translation of concepts and principles of systems thinking into practical strategies for creating and using knowledge to solve complex problems.…”
