Deliberative dialogue can be a useful knowledge translation and exchange (KTE) strategy. Its effects are most noticeable at the individual level for participants, especially for low-priority policy issues.
Area of Science:
- Health Services Research
- Knowledge Translation and Exchange (KTE)
Background:
- System-level strategies are needed for effective knowledge translation and exchange (KTE).
- Deliberative dialogue is an under-explored KTE strategy.
Purpose of the Study:
- To explore deliberative dialogue as a system-level KTE strategy.
- To describe the design features and intended effects of deliberative dialogue.
Main Methods:
- Case study methodology.
- Data collection through observations, participant evaluations, and interviews.
- Analysis within the context of broader experience.
Main Results:
- Design elements of deliberative dialogue are maintainable in future applications.
- Organizers should consider the relative importance of design features based on context.
- Intended effects are primarily observed at the individual participant level for low-priority policy issues.
Conclusions:
- Deliberative dialogue is a viable KTE strategy with adaptable design features.
- Further research is needed to understand its application in diverse contexts and for various issues.
