How Does the Delphi Technique Work in Epidemiology?
The Delphi Technique involves several key steps:
Selection of Experts: Experts are chosen based on their experience and knowledge in the field of epidemiology. Questionnaire Rounds: Experts are asked to respond to a series of questionnaires. These questionnaires are designed to gather their opinions and predictions about specific epidemiological issues. Feedback and Revision: After each round, a summary of responses is provided to the panel. Experts are then asked to reassess their answers in light of the group's responses. Consensus Building: The process continues until a consensus is reached or diminishing returns are observed.
