To prepare for this Discussion:

• Review the Learning Resources related to coding, data analysis, and focus groups.
• Review the focus group media program found in the Learning Resources and consider how you might use a focus group in collecting data for the topic of your research.

Post your explanation of:

1. The difference between collecting data using individual interviews and a focus group (e.g., intent, selecting participants, conducting the interview or focus group)
2. Given the topic you are currently using for your research, would you consider using a focus group for your study? Why or why not?

Be sure to support your main post and response post with reference to the week’s Learning Resources and other scholarly evidence in APA style.
