Hello:

We are presently engaged in a study of "citizen" (also called lay,
public or community) participation in health reform. We are looking for
tools and methods for assessing the IMPACT of citizen participation on
decision-making and decisions made. More specifically, we are interested
in answering the often-asked question "does citizen participation make a
difference?

I would greatly appreciate receiving any information you might have
regarding the measurement of IMPACT of citizen participation.

Best regards Jim
