End of Program Focus Group (DIFO) Doing It For Ourselves

Program

DIFO

End-of-program focus group

The purpose of this focus group is to reflect on the 12-week program and gather your feedback. We are interested in hearing about what you liked best, what made this program successful, and how it could be improved for future participants.

Ground Rules for Discussion

• We would like to hear from each participant throughout the discussion. However, each person does not have to answer every question.

• We have a lot to cover in a relatively short time, so we will need to keep the discussion moving. We may need to interrupt someone who is talking in order to be sure that we get a chance to have discussion about each topic. Please do not be offended by this.

• Remember that there are no right or wrong answers. We are interested in your thoughts and opinions, and it is okay that your opinions be different from others in the group.
