Throughout, Planning Focus Groups emphasizes the clarifying purposes of the research project in order to collect data that meet the goals.

This volume also features a detailed discussion of timelines, personnel, and budgets. Among the other topics covered are recruitment, selecting locations, and recording and managing data. Practical material includes checklists, recruitment tools, timelines, and budgets.
