在以社区为基础的参与式研究中，经常使用分解系统思维方法来参与和应对复杂性。参与系统思考活动为参与者创造了获得有关复杂性的有用见解的机会。最好设计活动，将这种参与的好处扩大到社区，因为这些见解预示着以社区为基础的预防工作的成功。这项研究测试了一个在线的，计算机介导的参与式系统建模平台（STICKE）和相关的方法，整理和分析其输出。STICKE在一组社区成员中试用，以测试计算机介导的系统建模练习。然后将练习产生的因果图合并，并应用网络分析和DEMATEL方法来生成一个较小的汇总模型，以传达整个参与者群体的见解。参与者成功完成了在线建模活动，并创建了与预期一致的因果图。DEMATEL分析被确定为参与者首选的方法，用于将个体因果图汇聚成连贯和有用的摘要。STICKE是一个可访问的工具，使参与者能够在线创建因果关系图。在这项研究中试用的方法提供了一个协议，结合和总结个人的因果关系图，被认为是有用的参与者组。STICKE支持社区在地方一级考虑和应对复杂问题，这是可持续有效预防的基石。了解社区如何看待自己的健康挑战，对于更好地支持和宣传地方自主的预防工作至关重要。
Participatory systems thinking methods are often used in community-based participatory research to engage and respond to complexity. Participation in systems thinking activities creates opportunities for participants to gain useful insights about complexity. It is desirable to design activities that extend the benefits of this participation into communities, as these insights are predictive of success in community-based prevention. This study tests an online, computer-mediated participatory system modelling platform (STICKE) and associated methods for collating and analysing its outputs. STICKE was trialled among a group of community members to test a computer-mediated system modelling exercise. The causal diagrams resulting from the exercise were then merged, and network analysis and DEMATEL methods applied to inform the generation of a smaller summary model to communicate insights from the participant group as a whole. Participants successfully completed the online modelling activity, and created causal diagrams consistent with expectations. The DEMATEL analysis was identified as the participant-preferred method for converging individuals causal diagrams into a coherent and useful summary. STICKE is an accessible tool that enabled participants to create causal diagrams online. Methods trialled in this study provide a protocol for combining and summarising individual causal diagrams that was perceived to be useful by the participant group. STICKE supports communities to consider and respond to complex problems at a local level, which is cornerstone of sustainable effective prevention. Understanding how communities perceive their own health challenges will be important to better support and inform locally owned prevention efforts.
