To be used to start a Causal Loop Diagram

How do drugs affect us on individual and popular levels? Let's take a look at drug addiction as a system and pick it apart based on its biological, financial, mental, and communal effects.

Aim: To gain insight into what map and model representations in applied systems methods in IM-1267 can assist identifying and explaining the improvement strategies (leverage points) described by Donella Meadows Leverage Points Systemswiki . The context is social learning for collective action to improve real world events. Information Sources are adapted from IM-920

Activity: Use causal loop diagram to represent how the system is supposed to work based on Elmore quote.  Then, according to Elmore, what is missing?  How might the model be modified to include what Elmore says is missing?

Un diagramme de boucle causale (DBC) est un outil visuel qui permet de comprendre comment les différentes variables dans un système sont interdépendantes. Le diagramme se compose d’un ensemble de nœuds et d’arcs. Les nœuds représentent les variables; tandis que les arcs représentent les connexions, ou liens de causalités, entre les variables. Un lien causal peut être positif ou négatif. Un lien causal positif signifie que les deux nœuds vont évoluer dans le même sens. Un lien causal négatif signifie que les deux nœuds évoluent dans des directions opposées. Les cycles fermés dans le diagramme sont des éléments très importants des DBC. Un cycle fermé forme une boucle de rétroaction, qui peut être une boucle de renforcement (rétroaction positive) ou d’équilibrage (rétroaction négative). En utilisant un DBC, vous pouvez identifier les facteurs clés qui influencent le résultat que vous souhaitez analyser et comprendre comment ces facteurs interagissent les uns avec les autres. Cela peut vous aider à prendre des décisions éclairées pour améliorer la gestion de votre organisation de santé.
