“…Some, however, have argued that Delphi studies identifying research priorities have had little or no impact on actual outputs in these areas, thus need to only be undertaken within the context of their intended use (28). The setting of research priorities is however widely advocated for assisting researchers and aligning funding with European evidence needs (8). Our study was undertaken in conjunction with the society of ESPNIC and within this, the nurse science section.…”

“…This enabled rapid responses and faster data analysis and reduced the costs. Others have recently reported the benefits of e-Delphi studies (8). Additionally, the local translations of the survey meant that it did not restrict it to only English-speaking nurses, which has been a limitation of other studies (1).…”

“…An e-Delphi approach is defined as the use of the modified Delphi technique via an electronic/web-based medium (8). Within healthcare research, the Delphi technique is often used to set priorities or to gain consensus about important issues (9,10).…”

“…Controlled feedback and statistical group response take place in between rounds by informing individual experts about the opinions of the total expert group. The e-Delphi technique is performed via e-mail or online web surveys (8). The e-Delphi process used in this study is outlined in Figure 1.…”

“…In recent years, however, it has become possible to carry Delphi surveys more efficiently through the use of electronic communication media. Web-based (or real-time) Delphi surveys may help panelists get a quicker overview of other participants' responses, thus enabling a quick implementation of iterations [16,24,27]. Using a web-based survey also makes it simpler to operate with larger panels.…”

It is widely recognized that transformation of urban areas are urgent to meet the demands for more efficient and environmental friendly transportation in the future. Although there are general agreements on the need for change, different ideas and visions for the future dominate across different groups of stakeholders and academics. In this paper we explore various views on the future of everyday travelling in urban regions, 30-40 years ahead, focussing in particular on four larger urban areas in Norway. Based on an innovative web-based Delphi-study, involving 280 national experts, various conceptions of future urban travelling is explored. An explorative factor analysis (principal component analysis) is applied to reveal three slightly different understandings of how the urban future may look like in 2050. These three visions -labelled as BControlled mobility^, BTechnopolisâ nd BShared mobility^-suggests slightly different scenarios' for the future of urban travelling.

IMPORTANCE There is a lack of agreement on what constitutes successful outcomes for the process of health care transition (HCT) among adolescent and young adults with special health care needs. OBJECTIVE To present HCT outcomes identified by a Delphi process with an interdisciplinary group of participants. DESIGN, SETTING, AND PARTICIPANTS A Delphi method involving 3 stages was deployed to refine a list of HCT outcomes. This 18-month study (from January 5, 2013, of stage 1 to July 3, 2014, of stage 3) included an initial literature search, expert interviews, and then 2 waves of a web-based survey. On this survey, 93 participants from outpatient, community-based, and primary care clinics rated the importance of the top HCT outcomes identified by the Delphi process. Analyses were performed from July 5, 2014, to December 5, 2014. EXPOSURES Health care transition outcomes of adolescents and young adults with special health care needs. MAIN OUTCOMES AND MEASURES Importance ratings of identified HCT outcomes rated on a Likert scale from 1 (not important) to 9 (very important). RESULTS The 2 waves of surveys included 117 and 93 participants as the list of outcomes was refined. Transition outcomes were refined by the 3 waves of the Delphi process, with quality of life being the highest-rated outcome with broad agreement. The 10 final outcomes identified included individual outcomes (quality of life, understanding the characteristics of conditions and complications, knowledge of medication, self-management, adherence to medication, and understanding health insurance), health services outcomes (attending medical appointments, having a medical home, and avoidance of unnecessary hospitalization), and a social outcome (having a social network). Participants indicated that different outcomes were likely needed for individuals with cognitive disabilities. CONCLUSIONS AND RELEVANCE Quality of life is an important construct relevant to HCT. Future research should identify valid measures associated with each outcome and further explore the role that quality of life plays in the HCT process. Achieving consensus is a critical step toward the development of reliable and objective comparisons of HCT outcomes across clinical conditions and care delivery locations.
