The proper use and misuse of focus groups are developed with emphasis on creative and alternative designs of the traditional group structure. The abuses of focus groups are divided into categories based upon the researcher's experience with the technique. Keywords: focus groups, creative and alternative approaches to qualitative research, uses and abuses of focus groups Paper ID: STP19495S Committee/Subcommittee: E18.94 DOI: 10.1520/STP19495S ASTM International is a member of CrossRef. | ||
