Taking a Broad Societal Perspective to the Prevalence of Type-2 Diabetes in the Netherlands: Mapping and Simulating Feedback by Applying System Dynamics & Group Model Building
conference paper
The increasing prevalence of type-2 diabetes in the Netherlands comes hand in hand with rising
costs, inequality between social groups, and a lower quality of life for those affected and at risk for
developing it in the future. By clustering knowledge about the issue from domain experts and
practitioners into a conceptual systems map, and using illustrative simulation for parts of the system,
we facilitated insights into hypothetical effects of policy in future scenarios. during Group Model
Building sessions. It was reasoned that partnerships between employers and research can potentially
be most beneficial, thanks to their interaction, resulting in greater availability and usability of data, in
less time.
