Use of nominal group technique methods in the virtual setting: A reflective account and recommendations for practice

Nominal Group Technique (NGT) methods involve the use of structured activities within groups comprised of purposefully selected stakeholders (nominal groups), with the broad aim of achieving a level of consensus and prioritising information. In this paper, we will report how we facilitated nominal groups, using Microsoft Teams, to prioritise content for a theory-based behaviour change intervention. Our methods are described and underpinned with relevant literature. Practical suggestions are offered based on our experience of using this method.
