Abstract

In 1997, the UK Buckinghamshire Health Authority (BHA) with financial help from the King's Fund, organized a citizens' jury on options for managing back pain. In association with the Science Museum, BHA decided concurrently to explore the potential for electronic citizens' juries to function as complementary deliberative processes. The Electronic Citizens' Jury model developed, which duplicated most of the deliberative features of traditional citizens' juries, and the experimental first implementation of such a jury, are described. One of the primary justifications for electronic deliberative processes is cost effectiveness but more important may be the extension of the reach of the process to individuals and groups not normally included in decision-making.
