They can be a very quick and fairly inexpensive way of sounding out peopleʼs attitudes and views. An interviewer poses questions and creates a discussion between the group of participants.

They can reveal the diversity and range of views among different client groups, help to find what minority groups think and give a voice to people who don't usually participate or get heard. They can help you design good survey questions and to understand your survey findings properly. They can also be used to discuss sensitive subjects. ]]> 2018-10-08 09:39:04 UTC https://padlet.com/mollyramsden/focus_groups4/wish/290203739
