Need to do more than one focus group

# data[].attributes.body
videotaping is the most effective way to record data.

# data[].attributes.body
A diverse group of participants is needed

# data[].attributes.body
1. Think about what sort of people you want in your focus group. Men? Women? Etc
2. Make sure you remember what your main aims are so know what to talk about so can gently guide conversation
3. Have to be confident yourself for it to work

# data[].attributes.body
Shy people find this difficult, confidence is essential to be able to guide the conversation to answer the research question efficiently.

# data[].attributes.body
Have 2 or 3 people leading it to help get all the information

# data[].attributes.body
Make a transcript to know which participant said what.

Make sure the discussions happening allow everyone to get involved.

# data[].attributes.body
Need to do at least 4 focus groups for data to be sufficient
Best method is to video record - can identify who is speaking
Best to have two or three people conducting focus group

# data[].attributes.body
To record data on video to help to see who is making what comment
Make sure I take control of the interview so i get the information I want
Ensure everyone is comfortable with the data recording

# data[].attributes.body
Takes a lot of planning: how to record info, types of participants (diversity), people to help you, how many you are running

# data[].attributes.body
Consider types of questions, the amount and type of people in focus group.
Video if possible however understand that it may make people nervous. Always at least audio and take notes.
Be confident in directing the discussion if off track.

# data[].attributes.body
the role of the moderator is to make everyone feel comfortable about speaking (and if not maybe consider rearranging the groups), As a moderator you should also consider how to record the data effectivley.

# data[].attributes.headline
Be aware if you record it may make some people feel nervous.

plan ahead

2. Control of conversation
3. Diversity

# data[].attributes.body
Have clear questions in mind that need to be asked

# data[].attributes.body
audio record and take notes as alternative to video

# data[].attributes.body
1)Need to be aware of the literature surrounding the subject.
2)Having someone taking notes of who is speaking when if you are only doing a voice recording so you know who was speaking when.
3) Make sure there is focused diversity within the group you are working with.

# data[].attributes.body
video record for a better transcript

# data[].attributes.body
Alternative: depth interviews

# data[].attributes.body
Ways for everyone to participate so there's not one lead speaker
Film so that you can see who was speaking, but permission is required
Often need to do more than one focus group of it's the main method being used.

# data[].attributes.body
similar participants with similar experiences to prompt each other to answer

# data[].attributes.body
Make sure that everyone has a turn rather than one person speaking

# data[].attributes.body
there are a lot of aspect which need a lot of consideration and require  of planning (best method of recording data)

# data[].attributes.body
being confident

# data[].attributes.body
Record data on video
