Methods for evaluating natural experiments in obesity: a systematic review.
The researchers identified studies that report effects of programs, policies, or built environment changes on obesity prevention and control and described their methods. They found many methodologically diverse natural experiments and experimental studies that reported effects of U.S. and non-U.S. programs, policies, or built environment changes on obesity prevention and control, reinforcing the need for methodological and analytic advances to strengthen evaluations of obesity prevention and control initiatives.
