We review two increasingly popular methods for engaging the public in healthcare priority-setting and determining their preferences; the Citizens’ Jury (CJ) and Discrete Choice Experiment (DCE).

متن کاملAnomalous geomagnetic variations and the concentration of telluric currents in south - west Queensland , Australia
A pattern of geomagnetic fluctuations in central Australia shown by a magnetometer array with instruments spaced at distances of order 100 km has been investigated in detail by a follow-up study in south-west Queensland with array instruments at distances of order 20 km apart. On a regional scale the pattern is simple and two-dimensional, and is evidently correlated with the spatial distributio...
متن کاملDiscovery of a pupping site and nursery for critically endangered green sawfish Pristis zijsron.
A pilot study targeting sawfishes in the southern Pilbara region of Western Australia, which is undergoing a major expansion in human activity, was conducted using gillnets during April and October 2011 in the Ashburton Estuary and adjacent mangrove creeks.

متن کاملMapping the Carpentaria conductivity anomaly in northern Australia
A band across northern Queensland, Australia, was studied in 1995 by a magnetometer array experiment in two parts: a Ž . Ž . western part Q1 , and an eastern part Q2 . Forty-three sites were occupied in all, by Flinders University magnetometers which recorded in three components at intervals of 1 min. A major purpose of the study was to further clarify the position and indeed the existence of a...
