The use of different panelist seems likely to harm results. Also the focus of questions shifted between round 1 and 2, from general pandemics to SARS. While the authors discussed Delphi they clearly had little respect for it's structure or ability. Essentially the study did nothing but waste grant money, yet taught the technique it failed to really apply.Nickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13918320332701779070noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4509736829271344872.post-28801842118149489892010-04-21T19:33:35.892-04:002010-04-21T19:33:35.892-04:00It seems like this particular study took much long...It seems like this particular study took much longer than studies in other articles to complete. How did the time lag between rounds affect the views of the participants? For example, the later participants could have had more information at their disposal which might have affected their answers. I also find the split between the written participants and the face-to-face participants to be a flaw in this study. Do most uses of Delphi require the same panel to participate in all rounds?Gracehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15126716257525073378noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4509736829271344872.post-57868954243534949892010-04-21T19:27:42.148-04:002010-04-21T19:27:42.148-04:00This comment has been removed by the author.Gracehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15126716257525073378noreply@blogger.com
