Gazing through time and beyond the health sector: Insights from a system dynamics model of cardiovascular disease in Australia.
<h4>Objective</h4>To construct a whole-of-system model to inform strategies that reduce the burden of cardiovascular disease (CVD) in Australia.<h4>Methods</h4>A system dynamics model was developed with a multidisciplinary modelling consortium. The model population comprised...

<h4>Objective</h4>To construct a whole-of-system model to inform strategies that reduce the burden of cardiovascular disease (CVD) in Australia.<h4>Methods</h4>A system dynamics model was developed with a multidisciplinary modelling consortium.
