Focus groups - what is a focus group and how to analyse focus group data? 

could you explain please what meant by meeting minute

Ok. I anticipate more educational tips from FOCUS GROUP 🙏

you're welcome!

You're welcome!

Thanks! :)

Thank you! There will be many more ! :)

to my knowledge, I can see no reason why it wouldn't be, but of course make sure to read up on this first

I would present them separately, most likely (sometimes when the 2 thematic frameworks turn out to be similar , it is possible to merge them). Regarding the content, the priority in focus group discussion findings will still be themes that you developed. You May complement this with some insights into group dynamics, etc, if there is a way to do this, but this is optional

Sure why not, if you believe that these methods will help you obtain relevant data and answer the research questions - go for it. It is not useful to think in terms of "do these methods fit the idea of a comparative study/grounded theory study/case study.." or whatever, the only question you should be concerned with is always "do these methods help me answer my research question"?

Qualitative Researcher many thanks Dr. i appreciate that.... thank you again

If there is a way to record the whole chat and be able to clearly see who speaks when, I am sure this can be done, and it may actually be easier to transcribe this data than it would be in a regular focus group recording. Of course there will be some people who will argue against doing online focus groups, pointing for example to the very fact that these people are physically in different places and surely this will Somehow influence what they say and how, there are always critics of everything, and although I never really thought about this before you asked this question, I am beginning to think this would actually be a good idea to do it through Zoom. Of course you will need much more than this advice of mine, in terms of preparing for this, and for defending your views

I have discovered that if you have Zoom Pro and Ottr (a voice recording app) you can combine the two and get a transcription of your conversation at the same time!

@@qualitativeresearcher Thank you! Do you also have some suggestions or links to research articles/studies that use focus group methodology? Perhaps, some that you think have effective data analysis from the focus group (s)?

I have videos on how to develop themes - the same will apply to focus group data so you may want to watch them
