Systems approach to healthy weight in Dumfries and Galloway

We worked with stakeholders from Dumfries and Galloway to take a systems approach to healthy weight in the early years. We co-produced a systems map of the factors affecting young people’s weight, and used this to create options for system-wide change. Using the Intervention Level Framework, we made sure these were a broad spread of system-level ideas rather than ‘more of the usual’. The project is being independently evaluated by academics from the University of Glasgow.
