“…The Delphi method is a systematic approach to reaching consensus through interactive communication among experts [47]. The Delphi methodology is often used in PA policy research [48–50], as well as within the field of PA research in general [51]. Various tools may be employed to administer a Delphi process [52, 53].…”

Background Policy analysis is considered essential for achieving successful reforms in health promotion and public health. The only framework for physical activity (PA) policy analysis was developed at a time when the field of PA policy research was in its early stages. PA policy research has since grown, and our understanding of what elements need to be included in a comprehensive analysis of PA policy is now more refined. This study developed a new conceptual framework for PA policy analysis – the Comprehensive Analysis of Policy on Physical Activity (CAPPA) framework. Methods The development of the CAPPA framework was based on: (i) an extensive review of literature; (ii) an open discussion between the authors; (iii) three rounds of a Delphi process; and (iv) two-rounds of consultations with PA policy stakeholders. Results The CAPPA framework specifies 38 elements of a comprehensive analysis of PA policies in the following six categories, which comprise the building blocks of the framework: (i) purpose of analysis (including auditing and assessment of policies); (ii) policy level (including: international; national; subnational; local; and institutional policies); (iii) policy sector (including: health; sport; recreation and leisure; education; transport; environment; urban/rural planning and design; tourism; work and employment; public finance; and research sectors); (iv) type of policy (including: formal written policies; unwritten formal statements; written standards and guidelines; formal procedures; and informal policies); (v) stage of policy cycle (including: agenda setting; formulation; endorsement/legitimisation; implementation; evaluation; maintenance; termination; and succession); and (vi) scope of analysis (including availability; context; processes; actors; political will; content; and effects). Based on the CAPPA framework, we also proposed broad and inclusive definitions of PA policy and PA policy analysis. Conclusion The CAPPA framework may be used to guide future studies related to PA policy and to provide a context for the analysis of its specific components. The framework could be used in the same way for sedentary behaviour policy research. Future research should examine the extent to which PA policy analysis has covered each of the elements specified in the CAPPA framework and analyse the elements for which evidence is lacking. Future studies should also determine whether the existing tools allow for auditing and assessment of all the CAPPA elements and develop new tools if needed to allow for a more comprehensive PA policy analysis.

“…A finalidade da Policy Delphi é averiguar o consenso entre especialistas sobre as políticas que possam colaborar com o tema em análise (Critcher & Gladstone, 1998). Sua operacionalização envolve a proposição de políticas por especialistas seguida de suas análises das dimensões importância e exequibilidade pelo grupo de especialistas (Valente, Castellani, Larsen & Aro, 2015).…”

RESUMOEsta pesquisa aborda o desafio dos servidores públicos brasileiros de se manterem atualizados em relação ao complexo e crescente ambiente de documentos legais e normativos, com o propósito de atuarem eficazmente na análise e emissão de parecer em órgãos públicos. Utilizando a técnica Policy Delphi, discutem-se a exaptação da abordagem de gestão de citações e as referências da academia científica para o contexto da análise e emissão de pareceres em órgãos públicos. Por meio dos ciclos de interações do Policy Delphi com especialistas em gestão pública brasileira, analisaram-se as possíveis fontes de resistência à adoção da abordagem, bem como as políticas voltadas à sua inibição ou redução.

“…In our case, it was a policymaker who played the role of knowledge broker. Valente et al (2014) have pointed out that the quality of scientific advice depends on the clarity and quality of the knowledge user in being able to identify and communicate what his needs and requirements are. So, the demand side is considered to have the main responsibility for the quality of the advice.…”

“…In Mode 1, science and policy are seen as separate domains, with science perceived as a uniquely neutral provider of objective knowledge (Van den Hove 2007;Wardekker et al 2008), and decision-making perceived as the domain and responsibility of policy specialists (Demeritt 2006in Young et al 2014). Thus, when policymakers consider scientific facts to be true, objective, and independent, they can basically rely on them for the development of policies without the fear of political backlash (Valente et al 2014). Considering science and policy as separated is convenient to policymakers as it gives them room to shift blame and avoid political responsibility (Gieryn 1983;Flinders and Buller 2006).…”

“…Within politically sensitive situations, demands towards science are often expressed that call for clear independence from policymaking for example by demarcating science from policy with boundaries. In such situations, policymakers sometimes may prefer the linear sciencepolicy model like Mode 1 in the definition of Gibbons et al (1994) to avoid responsibility and out of fear of political backlash (Valente et al 2014). But this independence can also be obtained in a different way.…”

Scenario studies are seen as useful tools to support planning and decision-making processes because they provide integrated projections of future trends and developments and their impacts on land use. They play an important role in facilitating cooperation and interaction at the science-policy interface. This chapter contributes to new understandings of the role of science-based tools and instruments such as scenario studies at the science-policy interface.It uses a theoretical framework that connects the criteria of credibility, salience, and legitimacy to the concepts of co-production and boundary object to analyse the EUruralis scenario study that addresses the future of agriculture and rural development in Europe. The findings demonstrate that aspects related to legitimacy contributed to the capacity of EUruralis to function as a boundary object between the scientists and policymakers involved.They also show how cooperation in the EUruralis project resulted in joint learning and reflection. The chapter concludes by discussing the role of EUruralis as a boundary object and connecting the findings to the concept of co-production.
