“…Within the group context it may be easier for research participants to challenge researchers' views or assertions and even to change the direction or focus of the research (39). Importantly, working with groups can place demands for accountability on researchers because the group dynamic cultivated within the focus group is likely to produce expectations for action (40). However, without a sincere commitment to sharing power vnth group participants, focus groups can be as hierarchical and researcher-driven as any other research method.…”

Methodologically, focus groups on health have been used in at least four ways: as exploratory, where little or nothing is known in the area (Oliva et al 1999); in evaluation (AbuRasain & Williams 1999); in longitudinal studies (Grundy & Bowling 1999) and to test instruments (Grundy & Bowling 1999).…”
