16. Our Recommendations -Open-ended question styles were not as effective  focus groups or consultation may have been better -Give a list of possibilities -Having more concrete information to share with the public (i.e. location, when it is opening, etc.) -Mama’s for Mama’s would have been a good group to connect with -Try to go to more public areas to access the target population
