WELCOME (1 minute)
Good morning/afternoon, my name is [Moderator Name]. I am the NCCCP NCI Disparities Advisor and will be the moderator for today. Welcome and thank you for participating in the EBP Working Group’s Focus Group Discussion.
Many of you may have participated in a focus group previously. A focus group is a small group discussion that focuses on a particular topic in depth. The purpose of this focus group is to discuss the NCCCP Template for Community Outreach, specifically to understand the process of and experiences with implementing the Template. I will be asking your opinions and your experiences with implementing the Template at your sites. The information obtained will be used to refine and improve the Template for future use.
GROUND RULES (4 minutes)
Before we begin, I would like to review a few things about how the discussion will work.
In a focus group, there are no right or wrong answers, only opinions, and I’d like to hear from all of you about your perspectives equally. It’s important that I hear what each of you thinks. Please talk one at a time and in a clear voice. Because we are taping, I may occasionally interrupt you if two or more people are talking at once to be sure everyone gets a chance to talk and that responses are recorded clearly
Everyone needs to talk but each person doesn’t have to answer each question. If I haven’t heard from you I may call on you occasionally. You don’t need to address all answers to me; I encourage you to exchange points of view with each other. Also, please feel free to speak up even if you disagree with someone else here. It’s OK to disagree, because it’s helpful to hear different points of view. I’m also interested in any questions you may have as we go along.
This focus group will last approximately 1½ hours. To ensure that we stay within the allotted time, I may jump ahead to the next topic from time to time to move us along, but please stop me if you want to add anything.
This focus group will be audio-taped so that we can capture all of the relevant quotes and comments. Everything you say is important to us, and we want to make sure we don’t miss any comments. Later, we’ll go through all of your comments and use them to prepare a report of our discussion. I want to assure you, however, that all of your comments are secure to the extent provided by law, and will be used only for research purposes. Nothing you say will be connected with your name. As well, we would like focus group participants to respect the confidentiality of all responses provided as well. Also, if there are any questions you would prefer not to answer, please feel free not to respond to them.
Does anyone have any questions before we begin?
INTRODUCTIONS (10 minutes)
