Copyright © 2014 by The University of Kansas What is a focus group? A focus group is a small group discussion guided by a trained leader, used to learn more about opinions on a designated topic, and then guide future action.

Copyright © 2014 by The University of Kansas How are focus groups different from regular “groups”? They are focused on a specific topic. They have a trained facilitator. Members of the group are encouraged to talk openly about their opinions and respond to other members.

Copyright © 2014 by The University of Kansas When should you use a focus group? When considering introducing a new program or service. When the main concern is depth or shading of opinion. When you want to ask questions that can’t easily be asked or answered in a written survey.

Copyright © 2014 by The University of Kansas How to Conduct a Focus Group: Before the meeting: Recheck your goals Consider other methods Find a good leader Find a recorder Decide who should be invited Decide about incentives Decide on the meeting particulars. Prepare your questions. Recruit your members. Review the arrangements.

Copyright © 2014 by The University of Kansas How to Conduct a Focus Group: When the group meets: Thank people for coming. Review the group's purpose and goals. Explain how the meeting will proceed and how members can contribute. Set the tone by asking an opening question and making sure all opinions on that question are heard. Ask further questions in the same general manner. When all your questions have been asked, ask if anyone has any other comments to make. Tell the group about any next steps that will occur and what they can expect to happen now. Thank the group for coming!

Copyright © 2014 by The University of Kansas How to Conduct a Focus Group: After the meeting meets: Make a transcript or written summary of the meeting. Examine the data for patterns, themes, new questions, and conclusions. Share the results with the group. Use the results.
