First, a random invitation is issued, which generates a large group of people who accept the invitation. From this group, a stratification is performed to select volunteers who reflect diverse demographic characteristics such as age, gender, location, educational level and attitudinal criteria that allow the inclusion of a variety of perspectives and experiences relevant to the subject matter. For this purpose, social science techniques are used to form a descriptive and diverse group, thus minimizing self-selection bias and ensuring a descriptive sample of the population.   \"}}]}<\/script><div class=\"wp-block-uagb-faq-child uagb-faq-child__outer-wrap uagb-faq-item uagb-block-23c80ffa \" role=\"tab\" tabindex=\"0\"><div class=\"uagb-faq-questions-button uagb-faq-questions\">\t\t\t<span class=\"uagb-icon uagb-faq-icon-wrap\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<svg xmlns=\"https:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" viewBox= \"0 0 448 512\"><path d=\"M224 416c-8.188 0-16.38-3.125-22.62-9.375l-192-192c-12.5-12.5-12.5-32.75 0-45.25s32.75-12.5 45.25 0L224 338.8l169.4-169.4c12.5-12.5 32.75-12.5 45.25 0s12.5 32.75 0 45.25l-192 192C240.4 412.9 232.2 416 224 416z\"><\/path><\/svg>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"uagb-icon-active uagb-faq-icon-wrap\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<svg xmlns=\"https:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" viewBox= \"0 0 448 512\"><path d=\"M416 352c-8.188 0-16.38-3.125-22.62-9.375L224 173.3l-169.4 169.4c-12.5 12.5-32.75 12.5-45.25 0s-12.5-32.75 0-45.25l192-192c12.5-12.5 32.75-12.5 45.25 0l192 192c12.5 12.5 12.5 32.75 0 45.25C432.4 348.9 424.2 352 416 352z\"><\/path><\/svg>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/span>\n\t\t\t<h3 class=\"uagb-question\">Deliberative Democracy<\/h3><\/div><div class=\"uagb-faq-content\"><p>It is a model of democracy in which decision-making is based on public discussion and debate, involving the active participation of all those potentially affected by such decisions.

In decision making, a trade-off involves sacrificing certain aspects in favor of others to achieve the best possible outcome within a set of constraints or limitations. In politics, economics and management, trade-offs are common considerations when assessing the costs and benefits of different actions.<\/p><\/div><\/div><div class=\"wp-block-uagb-faq-child uagb-faq-child__outer-wrap uagb-faq-item uagb-block-c163fd01 \" role=\"tab\" tabindex=\"0\"><div class=\"uagb-faq-questions-button uagb-faq-questions\">\t\t\t<span class=\"uagb-icon uagb-faq-icon-wrap\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<svg xmlns=\"https:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" viewBox= \"0 0 448 512\"><path d=\"M224 416c-8.188 0-16.38-3.125-22.62-9.375l-192-192c-12.5-12.5-12.5-32.75 0-45.25s32.75-12.5 45.25 0L224 338.8l169.4-169.4c12.5-12.5 32.75-12.5 45.25 0s12.5 32.75 0 45.25l-192 192C240.4 412.9 232.2 416 224 416z\"><\/path><\/svg>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"uagb-icon-active uagb-faq-icon-wrap\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<svg xmlns=\"https:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" viewBox= \"0 0 448 512\"><path d=\"M400 288h-352c-17.69 0-32-14.32-32-32.01s14.31-31.99 32-31.99h352c17.69 0 32 14.3 32 31.99S417.7 288 400 288z\"><\/path><\/svg>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/span>\n\t\t\t<h3 class=\"uagb-question\">Deliberative process<\/h3><\/div><div class=\"uagb-faq-content\"><p>It is a participatory mechanism in which a diverse group of people meet to consider and discuss various aspects of a specific issue or policy.

First, a random invitation is issued, which generates a large group of people who accept the invitation. From this group, a stratification is performed to select volunteers who reflect diverse demographic characteristics such as age, gender, location, educational level and attitudinal criteria that allow the inclusion of a variety of perspectives and experiences relevant to the subject matter. For this purpose, social science techniques are used to form a descriptive and diverse group, thus minimizing self-selection bias and ensuring a descriptive sample of the population.   <\/p><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n<div style=\"height:64px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n<p class=\"has-small-font-size\">This glossary is adapted from definitions found in various publications: World Health Organization (2022).
