Project: Opinions of Hand Hygiene Focus Group Discussion
Format: 60-minute in-person focus group discussion
Location: Atlanta, GA
[CONSULTING COMPANY] is conducting two focus groups with adult men and women to learn about opinions of health communication materials promoting hand hygiene behavior. In the focus groups we will discuss health communication materials that have been developed to promote hand hygiene behavior. Focus group findings will be used to help develop a health communication campaign focused on hand hygiene behaviors.
This informal discussion will last about 60 minutes and will be located in Atlanta, GA. Also, the discussions will be audio recorded.
You will not be asked to buy anything during the focus groups, we are only interested in your opinions. You will receive $40 as a token of appreciation for participating in this discussion. Also, we need to let you know that there will not be any childcare provided during the focus group discussion, so please make the appropriate childcare arrangements if you have children.
To determine if you are eligible to participate in the focus groups, we need to ask you a few questions. All of your responses will be kept private.
