The workshop explored various methodologies and tools that could guide future obesity research and action and featured examples of how such approaches have informed decision making within policy and program areas. Workshop presentations also discussed the support structures (e.g., data sources, modeling expertise, training, and partnerships and collaborations) that encourage and engage researchers and decision makers to use systems science approaches to more effectively and efficiently understand the causes of and solutions to the obesity epidemic. This Proceedings of a Workshop-in Brief highlights the presentations and discussions that occurred at the workshop.
