NIF REPORTS ON THE ISSUES

Periodically reports are published to communicate the outcomes of forums held across the nation about a particular issue. Making use of participants' answers to Forum Questionnaires, reports from moderators, and in-depth studies of selected forums, these reports describe in some detail what happened as people deliberated about the issue at hand.
