Abstract
The paper describes one of the first
attempts to evaluate an obesity prevention
intervention that was informed by systems
thinking and deliberately addressed the
complexity within each school setting. A
quasi-experimental design was adopted,
and the intervention design included
the facility for each school to choose and
adopt interventions that were specific to
their school context and priorities. This, in
turn, meant the expectation of differential
behavioural effects was part of the initial
design and therefore a comparison of
outcomes by intervention school was
warranted.
