A three-round Policy Delphi using vignette methodology was employed as a new approach to study stakeholder perceptions and experiences of equine welfare. Forty-four representatives from stakeholder groups in the Irish equine industry participated. In Round 1, vignettes (narratives illustrating potential infringements of equine welfare) were presented to assess perceptions of 'Acceptability' and experiences of 'Frequency of occurrence'. In Round 2, lists of situations where equine welfare might be compromised, possible drivers of behaviour and potential solutions were presented for grading. In Round 3, two composite issues were formed from an analysis of responses to the previous round, namely (1) the disposal of horses trade, and (2) behaviour at unregulated gatherings; these were illustrated using vignettes to establish stakeholder attitudes to the desirability, feasibility and means of improving standards of welfare for horses. All respondents completed all rounds demonstrating their engagement with the method.
采用了一种使用案例法的三轮政策德尔菲法，作为研究利益相关者对马福利的看法和经历的新方法。爱尔兰马产业利益相关者群体的44名代表参与其中。在第一轮中，展示了案例（说明马福利可能受到侵犯的叙述），以评估“可接受性”看法和“发生频率”经历。在第二轮中，列出了马福利可能受到损害的情况、行为的可能驱动因素和潜在解决方案，以供评级。在第三轮中，根据对上一轮回复的分析形成了两个综合问题，即（1）马匹交易处置，以及（2）非正规集会中的行为；使用案例对这些问题进行说明，以确定利益相关者对提高马福利标准的可取性、可行性和方法的态度。所有受访者都完成了所有轮次，表明他们参与了该方法。
