  		FIGURE 1—— Summary of priorities for research, practice, and policy from modified Delphi process, 2006

Note. ICT = information and communication technology. A modified Delphi method was used to identify and rank the top priorities for research, practice, and policy. The 27 members of the panel were recruited on the basis of their expertise in the area of tobacco control. This process used sequential questionnaires over 3 rounds. Round 1 asked participants to respond to open-ended questions. Responses were analyzed and organized according to common themes to generate 3 lists of priorities for (1) research, (2) practice, and (3) policy. In round 2, panelists were asked to rank the items on the 3 lists generated from round 1 and provide reasons for their choices. Their rankings were then combined to produce a total score for each priority. In addition, the reasons provided for the top choices were summarized. In round 3, consensus was consolidated as panelists were asked to either agree or rerank their choices. For more information on this method, see the Methods section.
