Hi Bruce
I am new to the list. Can you elaborate on what you mean re the 'strand about
the use of Delphi techniques'?
I am planning a Delphi study to identify priorities for research
Many thanks
Declan

>Murphy MK et al. Consensus development methods, and their use in clinical
guideline development.
>
>Background. Consensus methods are increasingly being used to develop clinical
guidelines which define key aspects of the quality of health care,
particularly appropriate indications for interventions. This review is
restricted to formal consensus methods in which the structure, process and
output are explicit from the outset. Three main approaches have been used in
the health field: the Delphi method, the nominal group technique (NGT) and the
consensus development conference.
>
>Objectives.
>1. To identify the factors that affect the decisions that emerge from
consensus development methods.
>2. To assess the implications of the findings for the development of clinical
guidelines.
>3. To recommend further methodological research for improving the use of
consensus development methods as a basis for guideline production.
