In health policy-making, various deliberative mechanisms can be used to engage the members of the public in exploring what might be a reasonable course of action. Scurr et al take power dynamics into consideration to analyse a deliberative dialogue involving stakeholders with diverse points of view. Given such asymmetries at play, the conclusions of deliberations could be biased. Scholars would benefit from guidance on designing and evaluating deliberative processes. This commentary aims to broadly reflect on the possible sources of power and information asymmetries in deliberative dialogues, and to bring the biographical resources approach to deal with such asymmetries.
在卫生政策制定中，可以使用各种审议机制让公众参与探讨合理的行动方案。Scurr 等人考虑到权力动态，分析了一场涉及观点各异的利益攸关方的审议对话。鉴于存在这种不对称性，审议的结论可能存在偏见。学者们将受益于关于设计和评估审议过程的指导。本评论旨在广泛反思审议对话中可能存在的权力和信息不对称的来源，并提出传记资源方法来应对这些不对称性。
