In our study of the relevance of case studies for influencing decision-making we demonstrated the importance of telling believable stories. Case studies can go beyond being ‘practical examples’ and can have the power to influence decision-making, but they need to be similar and locally relevant, and the onus is on the storyteller to highlight these similarities.

Young people aged 10–24 years constitute 24% of the world's population; investing in their health could yield a triple benefit—eg, today, into adulthood, and for the next generation. However, in physical activity research, this life stage is poorly understood, with the evidence dominated by research in younger adolescents (aged 10–14 years), school settings, and high-income countries
