While short-term participatory science communication activities have been well researched, long-term programs have received scant attention. Analysing survey data and participant discussions, I investigated interactions between Australian farmers and scientists engaged in the Climate Champion Program (2009–2016). I compared their interactions to three theorised science communication models: deficit, dialogue and participatory. I found their interactions illustrated a mix of the characteristics of all three models. While farmers and scientists appeared to be motivated to interact by deficit and dialogue objectives, respectful and trusting relationships emerged from long-term participation, which was key to making deficit- and dialogue-style communication more effective.

将科学传播理论与参与式实践进行比较：澳大利亚气候冠军计划的案例研究

虽然对短期参与性科学传播活动进行了很好的研究，但长期计划却很少受到关注。通过分析调查数据和参与者讨论，我调查了澳大利亚农民和参与气候冠军计划（2009-2016）的科学家之间的互动。我将他们的互动与三种理论化的科学传播模型进行了比较：赤字、对话和参与。我发现他们的交互说明了所有三个模型的特征的混合。虽然农民和科学家似乎受到赤字和对话目标的激励，但长期参与产生了尊重和信任的关系，这是使赤字和对话式沟通更有效的关键。
