Focus group

F
 

A focus group is an interview conducted with a small group of people (often 4-10 people), used to collect in-depth qualitative data from multiple people at the same time. Focus groups may help participants feel more comfortable, and allows them to build on the answers of others. However, the facilitator must be aware of social dynamics among participants to make sure everyone has an equal opportunity to share their perspectives.
