“…The Delphi technique is a structured group communication process in which expert judgements on a specific question are determined. 13,14 As described by Jünger et al, the primary purpose of the Delphi technique is to achieve consensus or to explore a field beyond existing knowledge and current concepts. 12 The Delphi method acquires its validity through the theory of errors: aggregated group responses represent a statement that is superior to the majority of the individual experts.…”

Background The use of drugs beyond their authorisation label, i.e. off-label-use, is common practice in palliative care with over 70% of off-label-use having little or no scientific support. Recommendations for off-label-use are essential to increase the safety of drug therapy and thus patient safety. The aim was to develop a guide for preparing and consenting drug-specific recommendations for off-label-use in palliative medicine.Methods Group Delphi Study with three rounds and a prior online survey. Participants represented professional groups working in palliative care involved in direct patient care and/or drug management (doctors, pharmacists, nurses) and various care settings (inpatient/community, university/non-university). Furthermore, representatives of relevant professional associations, experts with academic, non-clinical background and experts with international expertise were invited.Results For the preliminary online-survey 18/20 invited participants returned 18 questionnaires. Six domains, including identification of drugs, drug uses, assessment of evidence, formulation, consensus and updating of recommendations were generated and eventually 22 statements were included in the Group Delphi process. 15 experts participated in this consensus process. In combination with the survey results, consensus was achieved over a 28 statements after 3 Delphi rounds.Conclusions The resulted systematic approach for preparing and consenting drug-specific recommendations for off-label-use will allow to develop such recommendations with transparent and reproducible monographs. This will help to increase treatment quality and patient safety as well as security of decision-making in palliative care. The developed guide is part of a larger project aiming to provide therapy recommendations for areas that have little or no scientific evidence to date.

“…While there is still no clear definition of the method, Häder [53] lists several characteristics and requirements which appear to be crucial for the definition of the classical method and are fulfilled in most applications, based on an extensive literature review: (1) the use of a formalised questionnaire; (2) an expert survey; (3) the anonymity of individual responses; (4) the determination of a statistical group response; (5) feedback to the participants about this group response; (6) (multiple) repetition(s) of the survey according to this scheme. However, there have been heated debates about variants and applications [56][57][58][59][60]. Indeed, perhaps a Delphi study should be conducted in order to reach a consensus on how to conduct a Delphi study.…”

Fare Evasion and Ticket Forgery in Public Transport: Insights from Germany, Austria and Switzerland

Local public transport companies provide important mobility services to the general public. Although these services are usually subsidised, companies rely on revenues generated by ticket sales. Therefore, fare evasion (i.e., people using a transport service without paying for it) and ticket forgery (the production of an illegal ticket facsimile) have considerable influence on the companies’ economic sustainability. As existing research regarding the economic perspective is limited, this paper presents a Delphi study that investigates the phenomena with a survey of experts in public transport companies and transport associations in Germany, Austria, and Switzerland. The findings of the survey provide insights into the overall perception and discuss relevant aspects of both fare evasion and ticket forgery, thereby not only highlighting practical implications, but also helping policy makers shape adequate policies for public transport in societies.

“…The method is often used to reduce uncertainty in problematic or highly complex fields. The data are gathered through a series of questionnaires interspersed with controlled and anonymous feedback (Häder & Häder, 2000). Two main suppositions are central: firstly, the judgment of a group is claimed as superior to judgments of individuals; secondly, the multilevel process of opinionforming is preferred as more valid than the single-level process (Häder, 2002).…”

“…Most of the studies differ in three ways: firstly, the use of open and closed questions; secondly, the number of questionnaires; and thirdly, the number and selection of participating experts. Meta-analysis of Delphi studies (Häder & Häder, 2000) shows that huge Delphis rarely use open questions, while small studies (up to 25 participants) often start with closed questions in order to open the room for arguments. A consensus is often established after the second questionnaire.…”

Out of the Fog and into the Future: Directions of Public Relations, Theory Building, Research, and Practice

This Delphi study is about the future directions of public relations. International public-relations experts, scholars and practitioners, are asked about the relationship between theory and practice, as well as the impact of different disciplines, academic concepts, and theories on public relations. By looking at recent developments in public relations, different trends become obvious: The practical field, as well as public relations teaching, is drifting toward a management perspective. "Communication management" is a term that has been adopted heavily in recent years. The academic research, however, although still lacking theory building, tries to tie in to sociological theories. It looks as though public relations, on the one hand, tries to become more accepted in the management field and, on the other hand, claims its place in society. This study underlines both trends.Keywords: Research methods; Delphi study; Public relations; Management; Organizational communication Résumé : Cette étude Delphi porte sur les directions futures des relations publiques. Dans cette étude, on a demandé à des experts, chercheurs et pratiquants internationaux en relations publiques leurs avis sur le rapport entre théorie et pratique ainsi que sur l'effet que divers disciplines, concepts et théories académiques ont sur les relations publiques. Parmi les développements récents en relations publiques, diverses tendances se démarquent. Par exemple, le côté pratique des relations publiques et leur enseignement adoptent de plus en plus un point de vue administratif. En effet, l'expression « administration de la communication » (« communication management ») se répand de plus en plus depuis quelques années. En même temps, la recherche académique, dont le développement de théories pertinentes présente encore des lacunes, essaie plutôt de recourir à des théories sociologiques. Il semble que les relations publiques tentent d'une part de se faire accepter dans le secteur administratif et d'autre part de se faire une place dans la société en général. Cette étude souligne les deux tendances.Stefan Wehmeier is Adjunct Professor at
