dc.description.abstractSystems thinking in health encompasses linkages, interactions, feedbacks, and processes between elements that comprise a whole system, including the complexity of a disease or condition itself (such as neonatal mortality) and the systems within which they are interacting and evolving, in this case the health system. Data analysis and brainstorming sessions were used to develop causal loop diagrams (CLDs) depicting the causes of neonatal mortality. The study explores how systems thinking tools, more specifically CLDs and system dynamics modelling can help better understand the complexity underlying factors behind stagnant neonatal mortality rates in Uganda.en
