Focus Group Methodology
- Synopsis
-
Liamputtong (medical anthropologist, La Trobe U. , Australia. ) explores focus group methodology, a research technique becoming increasingly popular in health and social sciences. The author notes that focus group methods are certainly not new, dating back to 1926, but they have changed substantially. The author addresses both theoretical and practical elements of using focus group-based research and also provides recommendations for using it in diverse social and cultural environments with varied groups of people, including those who are vulnerable and marginalized. In addition the author examines virtual focus groups and discusses managing and understanding focus group data. Annotation ©2012 Book News, Inc. , Portland, OR (booknews. com)
