Abstract [en]

To promote policy analysis and decision-making in mental health and well-being, simulations are used to scrutinize causal maps and provide policymakers reasonable evidence. This paper proposes and illustrates a multi-methodology hybrid approach by building a hierarchy of models, moving from a systems dynamics model to a simulation based on PageRank to quantify and assess a complex mental health map. The motives are: (1) to aid scenario analysis and comparison for possible policy interventions, (2) to quantify and validate mental health factors, and (3) to gain new insights into the core and confounding factors that affect mental health. The results indicate that the approach identifies factors that cause significant and frequent variation on mental health. Furthermore, validation confirms PageRank accuracy and detects minor fluctuations and variation in model's output behavior.
