Project: Opinions of Hand Hygiene Focus Group Discussion
Format: 90-minute in-person focus group discussion
Location: [LOCATION]
[CONSULTING COMPANY] is conducting two focus groups with adult men and women to learn about opinions of hand hygiene behavior and preferences for health information. In the focus groups we will discuss hand hygiene behavior when in contact with food and after use of the bathroom, as well as your preferences for health information. Focus group findings will be used to help develop a health communication campaign focused on hand hygiene behaviors.
This informal discussion will last about 90 minutes and will be located in [LOCATION]. 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.
If you have any questions about the focus groups, please contact [INSERT POINT OF CONTACT AT CONSULTING FIRM].
