Decisions always involve both facts and values, whereas most science communication focuses only on facts. If science communication is intended to inform decisions, it must be competent with regard to both facts and values. Public participation inevitably involves both facts and values. Research on public participation suggests that linking scientific analysis to public deliberation in an iterative process can help decision making deal effectively with both facts and values. Thus, linked analysis and deliberation can be an effective tool for science communication. However, challenges remain in conducting such process at the national and global scales, in enhancing trust, and in reconciling diverse values.
决策总是既涉及事实又涉及价值观，而大多数科学传播只关注事实。如果科学传播旨在为决策提供信息，那么它就必须同时具备事实和价值观方面的能力。公众参与不可避免地同时涉及事实和价值观。公众参与研究表明，将科学分析与公众审议通过迭代过程联系起来，有助于决策有效地处理事实和价值观。因此，关联分析和审议可以成为科学传播的有效工具。然而，在国家和全球范围内开展这一进程、增强信任以及调和不同价值观方面仍然存在挑战。
