“…Likewise, it can be employed as a means of structuring and discussing diverse but informed views on a particular issue, as in the Policy Delphi (Turoff, 1970). In our study, we did not particularly seek or anticipate consensus: rather, we ran three separate Delphi groups, each with different stakeholder types, on the assumption that their views on how to measure recovery would likely be diverse and cross-group agreement would probably be limited.…”

Aim s: To explore ways of measuring addiction recovery and the extent of agreement/disagreement between diverse service providers on potential recovery indicators. Methods: Separate online Delphi groups with (i) addiction psychiatrists (n = 10); (ii) senior resi dential rehabilitation staff (n = 9); and (iii) senior inpatient detoxification unit staff (n = 6). Each group was conducted by email and followed the same structured format involving three iterative rounds of data collection. Content analyses were undertaken and the results from each group were compared and contrasted. Findings: Indicators of recovery spanned 15 broad domains: substance use, treatment/support, psycho logical health, physical health, use of time, education/training/employment, income, housing, relationships, social functioning, offending/antisocial behaviour, well-being, identity/self-awareness, goals/aspirations, and spirituality. Identification of domains was very consistent across the three groups, but there was some disparity between, and consid erable disparity within, groups on the relative importance of specific indicators. Conclusions: Whilst there is general consensus that recovery involves making changes in a number of broad life areas and not just substance use, there is substantial disagreement on particular measures of progress. Further studies involving other stakeholder groups, particularly people who have personally experienced drug or alcohol dependence, are needed to assess how transferable the 15 identified domains of recovery are.

“…The policy Delphi method has an advantage over more traditional interviewing because it incorporates education and consensus building into the process of data collection. In most Delphi studies, experts are asked to generate items through a first-round, open-ended procedure13 14 using mailed questionnaires rather than face-to-face meetings 1115.…”

Objective-To test a novel approach for building consensus about tobacco control policies among legislators. Design-A pilot study was conducted using a two-round, face-to-face policy Delphi method. Participants-Randomly selected sample of 30 former Kentucky legislators (60% participation rate). Main outcome measure-Consensus on tobacco control and tobacco farming policies. Results-Former state legislators were more supportive of tobacco control policies than expected, and highly supportive of lessening the state's dependence on tobacco. Former state legislators were in agreement with 43% of the second-round items for which there was no agreement at the first round, demonstrating a striking increase in consensus. With new information from their colleagues, former lawmakers became more supportive of workplace smoking restrictions, limitations on tobacco promotional items, and modest excise tax increases. Conclusions-The policy Delphi method has the potential for building consensus for tobacco control and tobacco farming policies among state legislators. Tobacco control advocates in other states might consider using the policy Delphi method with policymakers in public and private sectors. (Tobacco Control 1999;8:137-140)

“…A policy Delphi modifies those goals somewhat and seeks to develop pro and con arguments about policy issues and their resolutions [5,6,10,12,13]. This technique, employed here, allows a panel of experts to contribute elements to a complex situation with the intention of building a composite model of the situation under study.…”

This paper discusses the relationship between policy research and policy change, and it provides examples of the policy research outcomes informed by the Rehabilitation Engineering Research Center on Mobile Wireless Technologies for People with Disabilities' (Wireless RERC) policy research process. In 2005 and 2006, the center conducted empirical research, using the policy Delphi polling methodology, to probe key stakeholders' opinions on the most significant issues surrounding the adoption and use of wireless communication and information technologies by people with disabilities. Drawing on the results of three rounds of polling, the Wireless RERC developed a set of policy options, and ''fine-tuned'' them using participating stakeholders from the disability community, wireless industry, and policymakers.
