“…These diagrams are for illustration only and actual application of them to the real world would require further testing and iteration [32]. While system dynamics methods have been used to study tobacco control [21,22,[39][40][41][42][43][44][45][46][47][48][49][50][51][52][53][54][55][56] and even to inform implementation of evidence into practice broadly [21], this is the first attempt to apply the method to illustrate dynamic complexity and efforts within each translational stage.…”

To impact population health, it is critical to collaborate across disciplinary and practice-based silos and integrate resources, experiences, and knowledge to exert positive change. Complex systems shape both the prevention outcomes researchers, practitioners, and policymakers seek to impact and how research is translated and can either impede or support movement from basic scientific discovery to impactful and scaled-up prevention practice. Systems science methods can be used to facilitate designing translation support that is grounded in a richer understanding of the many interacting forces affecting prevention outcomes across contexts. In this paper, we illustrate how one systems science method, system dynamics, could be used to advance research, practice, and policy initiatives in each stage of translation from discovery to translation of innovation into global communities (T0-T5), with tobacco prevention as an example. System dynamics can be applied to each translational stage to integrate disciplinary knowledge and document testable hypotheses to inform translation research and practice.

Recommendations for International Gambling Harm-Minimisation Guidelines: Comparison with Effective Public Health Policy

et al. 2013

Problem gambling represents a significant public health problem, however, research on effective gambling harm-minimisation measures lags behind other fields, including other addictive disorders. In recognition of the need for consistency between international jurisdictions and the importance of basing policy on empirical evidence, international conventions exist for policy on alcohol, tobacco, and illegal substances. This paper examines the evidence of best practice policies to provide recommendations for international guidelines for harm-minimisation policy for gambling, including specific consideration of the specific requirements for policies on Internet gambling. Evidence indicates that many of the public health policies implemented for addictive substances can be adapted to address gambling-related harms. Specifically, a minimum legal age of at least 18 for gambling participation, licensing of gambling venues and activities with responsible gambling and consumer protection strategies mandated, and brief interventions should be available for those at-risk for and experiencing gambling-related problems. However, there is mixed evidence on the effectiveness of limits on opening hours and gambling venue density and increased taxation to minimise harms. Given increases in trade globalisation and Gainsbury -Recommendations for international gambling harm-minimisation guidelines 2 particularly the global nature of Internet gambling, it is recommended that jurisdictions take actions to harmonise gambling public health policies.

“…Adolescents usually get alcohol and cigarettes from two types of sources: commercial sources (direct retail purchase), and social source (buying or being given from friends, relatives and acquaintances) (Ahmad & Billimek 2007). Thus, another important way to restrict the substance use of adolescents is regulating the availability of alcoholic beverages and cigarettes since it can increase the economic and opportunity costs associated with obtaining alcohol and cigarette (Chaloupka et al 2002).…”
