Table 1 Examples of questions asked by interviewer of focus group participants
From: Cultural adaptation of a shared decision making tool with Aboriginal women: a qualitative study
Question | Prompt |
|---|---|
1. In general, what did you like or not like about this form? Was anything confusing about it? | Made sense? Seems organized? Useful? Why/why not? |
2. Do you think that this form would be useful when considering a decision about your health and well being, or about something like whether to go to school? | Do they seem to ask the right questions? Do the topics/ideas seem right? |
3. We will now go through each question on the form. Do you think that #_ makes sense? | If a concern is raised: What do you like/not like? What would you change? |
4. Do you have any other comments or suggestions that we should consider that would make the form easier for Aboriginal women to use? | Topics, ideas: particular words, pictures? |
5. Those are all the questions we were going to ask; would you like to ask us about anything? Is there anyone else you think we should talk with about this topic? | |
6. Do you think we have created a tool that could be useful for making decisions about health? | |
7. Would you try it out again for making a real decision? | Why or why not? What was it like to use? What would make it better? |
8. Do you think that this could help you to make a decision that you think is good? | Clarify the choice options? Figure out the benefits and harms? The chances that the benefits or harms might happen? |
