Attachment E- List of Interview Topics for the Coalition Member Focus Group (CFG)

Thank you very much for agreeing to participate in a focus group. We work for ICF International, a research and evaluation organization and we are working in collaboration with the Office of the Assistant Secretary for Health (OASH) to evaluate the utility and effectiveness of the Second Decade Project Community Planning Guide developed by OASH. The Community Planning Guide was developed to help community leaders put together a plan for promoting health and wellbeing among adolescents in their second decade of life (10-19 years of age). We are talking with members of coalitions in 5 pilot sites across the country to learn about how they are involved with and support coalitions and their activities, and work to educate their communities about issues impacting young people ages 10-19. We will focus on the following topic areas during the focus group:

• Community Action plan development processes

• Experience working with the Second Decade Community Planning Guide

• Usefulness of Guide to facilitate discussion and activities

• Experience working with youth

• Experience working with coalitions

• Recommendations to modify the Second Decade Community Planning Guide
