Workshop Description

Focus groups are an excellent way to gather non-scripted information from community memebers and to engage young people in a meningful way. They can be a particularly useful strategy for understanding the “why” behind common norms, attitudes, and perceptions. This workshop is appropriate for youth who will be engaging in focus group efforts and their adult allies.

  1. Learn strategies for forming focus groups of students and focus groups of parents;
